The time has come, once again, for me to look for editors

I looking for an editor for my 58,000-word YA dystopian. It’s the second book of my pro-life sci- fi series. The book is called, “Curtis’ Generation Mission 1: The Inferiors”. It is a sequel to a book I’m getting ready to release, “For the Future Generations”. “For the Future Generations” was focused on the national consequences of abortion, while “Curtis’ Generation Mission 1″ is focused on the euthanasia side. The time-travelers from the first book go to Utah in the year 2100, after the Second War on Slavery. Though the disabled and elderly are not yet euthanized, those who cannot work–known as “Inferiors”– are kept as slaves. The time-travelers go to help a bullied boy named Curtis McKinney, who will grow up to become the cause of a massacre. The goal is to change his view of himself, and in turn, his view of others. On the mission, the travelers rescue Curtis’ classmate with autism, Lucy, and former slaves who will play a prominent role in society. Long story short, I’m in college and don’t have much time for self-editing this novel. I’m looking for beta readers and final eyes editors to help me out. I’m looking for grammar, style, consistency, tone, and developmental suggestions. Basically, the more in depth you get, the better. My ideal editors are avid readers and sticklers for grammar. I would really, really love the help. I will do novel swaps after May 7th, but I need to focus on finishing school for now. Email me at [email protected] if interested.
