Summary

I am looking for an experienced editor to refine and polish a full-length technical book on AI security, generated with AI assistance and intended for publication on Amazon KDP. About the Project The manuscript is complete but requires professional editing to improve coherence, flow, readability, and overall quality while preserving the original technical voice and expertise. The content is aimed at security engineers, researchers, CISOs, and policymakers. Key Responsibilities Perform thorough copy editing and line editing to ensure logical flow, clarity, and consistency. Improve sentence structure, eliminate redundancy, and enhance readability without changing the core technical meaning. Conduct proofreading for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting issues. Flag any technical inaccuracies or areas needing clarification (subject-matter familiarity with cybersecurity/AI is a strong plus). Suggest structural improvements where needed for better reader engagement. (Optional but valued) Design or recommend a professional book cover that fits the technical/security genre. Project Details Scope: Medium (estimated 1–3 months depending on availability and revisions) Level: Intermediate Format: Microsoft Word / Google Docs Estimated length: ~200–300 pages (final word count to be confirmed) Location: U.S. only Start Date: As soon as a strong candidate is found Ideal Candidate Proven experience editing AI-generated content (very important – please mention this in your proposal). Strong background in copy editing, proofreading, and editorial writing, preferably in technical, cybersecurity, or technology topics. Excellent command of English with a keen eye for detail. Ability to maintain an authoritative yet accessible tone. Experience with KDP formatting guidelines is a plus. Portfolio or examples of edited books (especially technical/non-fiction) welcomed. What to Include in Your Proposal Your relevant experience with AI-generated manuscripts. A brief note on your approach to editing technical content. Links to relevant portfolio samples or past book projects. Your hourly rate and estimated total hours for the full project. Availability and any questions you have. I value clear communication, attention to detail, and collaborative feedback. Looking forward to working with a skilled editor who can help turn this AI-assisted draft into a polished, professional publication.
