Developmental Editor Needed For Christian Speculative Fiction Novel
Developmental Editor Needed for Christian Speculative Fiction Novel (54,000 Words)
I am seeking an experienced developmental editor for my manuscript, The Digressive Divide, a Christian speculative fiction novel currently at approximately 54,000 words.
The novel blends science fiction, theology, philosophy, spiritual warfare, mystery, and emotional storytelling into a cinematic narrative exploring the divide between humanity and God.
Set within a multiverse where unfallen worlds observe Earth’s rebellion from afar, the story follows Jonathan P. Tista, a brilliant mathematician who discovers an equation capable of measuring humanity’s moral and spiritual separation from Elohim. His discovery sets into motion a cosmic conflict involving free will, redemption, Lucifer’s rebellion, and the possibility of reconciliation between Earth and Heaven.
This project is intended to feel:
Cinematic
Emotionally grounded
Intellectually layered
Spiritually thought-provoking
Visually immersive
Philosophically engaging
The tone is more reflective and atmospheric than traditional action-driven sci-fi, while still maintaining strong narrative momentum and emotional stakes.
What I’m Looking For
I am primarily seeking:
Developmental editing
Structural and pacing feedback
Character and emotional arc analysis
Worldbuilding consistency review
Story cohesion and clarity
Guidance on tightening scenes and strengthening narrative focus
Preservation of voice while elevating readability and impact
Ideal Editor Experience
I would especially value editors with experience in:
Speculative fiction
Science fiction
Fantasy
Philosophical fiction
Christian fiction
Cinematic or emotionally layered storytelling
Manuscript Details
Approximate word count: 54,000 words
Genre: Christian Speculative Fiction / Science Fiction
Current stage: Full manuscript completed
Editing needed: Developmental Editing
Please Include
Relevant experience with similar projects
Developmental editing approach/process
Estimated turnaround time
Pricing structure
Portfolio or sample work if available
I am especially interested in editors who understand both strong storytelling structure and the deeper philosophical/spiritual dimensions of speculative fiction.
Looking forward to reviewing proposals and finding the right editorial partner for this project.
