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

Guidance on tightening scenes and strengthening narrative focus
