Collection cycle "Aqua"
Good day!
My name is Oleksandr Maryan (literary pseudonym — Skald). I am working on a poetic cycle "AQUA" — a series of interconnected collections with a single symbolic system of images and a coherent compositional logic.
I am currently looking for a literary editor to assist with the first volume of the cycle ("Guide") with the prospect of further work on the entire series. I am interested in editorial support for the structure of the book, preparation of the manuscript for electronic or print publication, and consultation on further publishing strategy.
Could you please let me know if you work with similar projects and what terms of cooperation are possible?
The budget is approximate and can be clarified after an initial review of the materials.
Respectfully
Skald

Client's review of cooperation with Ganna Maltseva
Collection cycle "Aqua"Very attentive and professional editorial work. The editor helped not only to structurally assemble the book but also to preserve its atmosphere, rhythm, and internal logic without simplifying the author's style. The work on composition, recurring motifs, and the overall sound of the text became especially valuable. There is a deep immersion in the material and a truly attentive attitude towards the author's intention.

"AQUA" sounds like a project where not just poetry is important, but a holistic system - where the texts work together, not individually. I particularly love such stories: where there is internal logic, recurring images, and the book reads like a journey, not just a collection.
I can connect to "The Guide" in this regard: to gather the structure, strengthen the connections between the texts, feel the rhythm of the book as a whole, and prepare it for publication without losing your voice.
I resonate with the approach itself, so I am curious to see how you have built this system internally.

I have reviewed the selection — it feels like you already have your own system of images and a coherent logic of the cycle. This is a strong foundation.
From my side, I can be useful specifically as an editor: to neatly align the presentation, remove overloaded places, enhance readability and coherence between the texts — without interfering with your style and imagery system.
I suggest starting with working on a part of the material (for example, one collection or several texts) to understand if we are compatible in our approach. After that, we can finalize the format, deadlines, and budget.
Respectfully, Yuriy

Олександре, додайте до категорії "вірші, пісні, проза" ще одну категорію — "редагування і коректура текстів". Так Ви швидше знайдете редактора.
