Summary

I have a collection of essays I have written over the past 20 years, most are based on my experience as a physician, others are on various topics ranging from social commentaries to travel blogs and personal experiences. They range from about 300 words to 2,000 words for a total of about 14 essays, about 50,000 words total. I am looking for someone who has editing experience who can do copy editing. Attention to grammar, clarity and flow is key. I plan to compile these essays as a book and self publish. No AI editing. Only US based native English speakers.
