Developmental & Line Editor Needed for Historical Fiction
Posted 2026-05-06Job Title: Developmental & Line Editor Needed for Thought-Provoking Historical Fiction (Faith + Science Theme)
Project Description:
I am seeking an experienced and insightful editor for my completed manuscript titled The Jerusalem Anomaly; What They Recorded Should Not Exist. This is a unique work of historical fiction that follows a team of time travelers who journey back to the first century to witness and document the life and teachings of Jesus.
The book blends cinematic storytelling with philosophical and scientific exploration, particularly examining the relationship between faith, miracles, and modern concepts such as quantum physics. The goal is to present a compelling, emotionally engaging narrative that also challenges modern assumptions about reality, consciousness, and the spiritual world.
Manuscript Details:
- Genre: Historical Fiction / Speculative Fiction / Philosophical
- Length: ~90,000–110,000 words (approximate)
- Tone: Cinematic, thoughtful, inspirational
- Audience: General adult readership, including readers interested in faith, science, and philosophy

1. Developmental Editing
o Strengthen narrative flow, pacing, and structure

o Ensure clarity and consistency in blending historical, scientific, and spiritual themes
2. Line Editing

o Elevate prose to a professional, publish-ready level
o Maintain a consistent and engaging voice throughout
3. Optional (but valued):
o Experience with faith-based or philosophical works

Key Goals for This Project:
- Create a seamless and immersive reading experience
- Ensure the writing is clear, compelling, and accessible
- Preserve the depth and integrity of the book’s core message
- Help position the manuscript for strong reception in the marketplace
