Requesting Editor for novella 33K word

[CaffeineFetish]

I have tried in vain to get a reply from an editor through the editors program, so I am asking here.
The story is 95% done, and I've looked it over myself roughly 60% and could really use another set of eyes on it before I publish it. It is a sequel to my Criminal Affair series, though you would only really need to read the last chapter to have context. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

33K words.. might be time to go paid- that is a lot of story for a VE program

You may have to break up the story and use multiple VEs like I’ve had to do for some of my longer works. A request to edit 10K words (3 Lit pages) or less might get you a better response. Yes, this brings other issues into the picture, but it may be the only way forward if you’re not getting any VEs willing to do a novella—despite many of them indicating that ‘Novels and Novellas’ is a category they’re willing to tackle.

I notice you’ve got multi-chapter stories posted, almost all with a red H, so that accomplishment should be part of your pitch to the VEs. Your Criminal Affair series has 10 chapters of mostly 1 page stories, so you might have enough natural breaks in the sequel to be able to work with more than one VE.
