I have just finished writing a novel with a word count of 145,529. I am looking for a copy editor to proofread my manuscript for spelling mistakes, inconsistencies etc etc and to fix anything found on a word .doc.
The basic logline of the story is:
What happens when a severely obese, single mother finds out her ex-husband is getting married—to her own sister? She reinvents herself to prove to them that there's more to her than fat.
The concept is a modern day comedy romance, and disguised self-help guide set in Nelson, New Zealand. Isabella “IssyB” White, a first generation Samoan New Zealander, is a talented artist with a flair for writing. Problem is, no one knows it. She hides from the world, men and her potential behind 60 kg of excess weight. The weight, however, is not so easy to hide and IssyB endures revulsion, ridicule and rudeness for being fat. But when she discovers her ex-husband is marrying her sister in nine months, IssyB embarks on a mission: lose the weight, get a career and find the perfect man in time for the wedding.
Along the way, IssyB discovers losing weight does not make her life perfect. A short cut to skinny through surgery almost ends her life, just as she begins to find it in the arms of Jae, the adventurous entrepreneur who’s got skinny issues. IssyB also has an online friend whose interest in her grows with every chat, as well as an ex-husband who still carries a spark for her.
I would prefer an copy editor who has experience with this genre of writing.
