I need a skilled editorial assessor / developmental editor for a theologically grounded narrative (~52,000 words). The prose style is restrained, stylized, and high-density. Preserving the original voice, cadence, and theological precision is essential. Primary needs include: Assessing pacing, structural flow, and reader engagement Identifying repetition fatigue, clarity breakdowns, or drag points Preserving tone, cadence, and intentional stylistic choices Recommending improvements without flattening voice Ideal skills and experience: Strong background in theology Experience with literary or stylized narrative prose Strong instinct for pacing and structural analysis Ability to distinguish intentional style from genuine friction Line-level edits should be minimal and only suggested where meaning is unclear. I’d like to send a 3–5 page sample in advance to ensure alignment in approach and expertise.
