I have three short stories, together adding up to about 1,900 words, that need a quick but careful content/line edit. My top priority is consistency and clarity, yet I also want every sentence to read smoothly, maintain a literary tone, and of course be free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation slips. The stories are complete drafts; what I need from you is a fresh set of expert eyes, able to refine flow, tighten structure, and flag anything that might confuse a reader. Because I’m working to a tight schedule, I’d like the edited files returned as soon as realistically possible—if you can turn them around within 24 hours, even better. To make hand-off and review easy, please deliver: • a version with tracked changes or visible markup so I can see every adjustment • a final clean copy, ready for submission or publication This is a flat-rate assignment. If anything is unclear—or if you need additional context about plot points, style preferences, or character details—just let me know and we can sort it out quickly. I look forward to polishing these stories with your help.
