Editor (Published April 7)
My names is James I live on Vancouver Island. I recently finished my manuscript and I am seeking an editor to work together to publish my book. It is a historical thriller/spy based on the R-100 flight from England to Canada in 1930.
Summary/Pitch
An engineer who sees too much. A spy war she never meant to join. And a deadly game that will reach its breaking point aboard the R-100.
Mackenzie Gordon has spent her life building ships, not running from shadows. But when a suspicious accident at the shipyard nearly kills her, and a cryptic letter from her estranged father hints at something deeper, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous conspiracy. British intelligence, Nazi operatives, and a ruthless smuggling ring are all circling one mystery: an Egyptian artifact that might just be bait for something far deadlier.
As Mackenzie struggles to separate friend from foe—questioning even her closest allies—her journey takes her from the streets of Glasgow to the halls of power, from the depths of betrayal to the skies aboard the R-100 airship. As the airship crosses the Atlantic toward Montreal, the true players finally reveal themselves, and the fate of the R-100 hangs in the balance.
But no matter the outcome, Mackenzie will never return to the life she once knew. By the time the airship lands, she will have lost something she can never get back—her career, her safety, and the last hope of reconciling with the man she once loved.
With the walls closing in, one question remains: how much is Mackenzie willing to sacrifice to survive a war she never asked to fight?
For readers who love the slow-burn espionage of Alan Furst, the historical tension of Joseph Kanon, and the pulse-pounding stakes of Ken Follett, this is a thriller where history, secrets, and betrayal collide at 2,000 feet.
How to apply: Please send your resume and rates to James.burwash60@gmail.com.
Application deadline: April 21, 2025.

Includes results of research on long term care homes, how to assess them and checklists on other topics.
I would prefer have someone local i.e. Toronto or at least Ontario based as the information in the book is really about Toronto based long term care homes. It would also be helpful to have someone with experience finding a publisher.
