Book editing and (part) ghostwriting
Worldwide
I am working on my third book. "The art of breaking yourself" It's a combination of self-help, personal stories, and retelling of myth. Currently it sits around 25.000 words. Now, my manuscript is very rough. Even though I cut around 10.000 or more already from my manuscript. - The thesis is not very consistent yet in the book. - I might be missing some parts. - I have some parts that are still AI written. I hate it. Normally, I would be looking for someone who can review and edit my work. This time I am looking for someone who can review, edit but also write the missing parts. (or help me write) Or in some case, rewrite the stories with AI. I really don’t want to deliver AI texts to my readers. I got some success in other areas regarding my business so I really don’t have the headspace to really finish the book well, so I need some help. I am looking for someone who can help me out writing, editing and thinking about the book from start to finish. I am aiming to have around 25.000 to 30.000 well written, non AI, content that completely matches the core thesis of the book. The book consists of: - Mythological stories (center piece of each chapter) tend to be around 1500 to 2000 words - Personal story (1000 to 1500 per chapter) - Interpretation (how the stories match the core thesis) - Strategies and tactics (todo: I don’t have this yet) As per your background. I am looking for a writer who can write personally (no corporate fluff), as some experience with self-help and also with fictional story telling. And as you might guess, in this case: NO AI writing. I don’t mind you using it for analysis, research etc, but the result should be completely AI free. PS. I attached all the current manuscript (with all its flaws), so you can study it and tell me your ideas.
