$250-750 CAD

Paid on delivery
I am a fledgling writer with a first draft at the ready, it is my first time so be gentle! I suppose the genre is suspense, it involves human trafficking and domestic violence so is fairly violent. I have a background that has offered me a great deal of insight into this area, so it is fairly realistic. I need someone to edit the book before I move forward, but I am in no rush. The word count is at 83,368 right now. Price can be negotiable as I am new to this.
