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.
