Summary

Hello, I’m in search of a copy editor who works in the Google Docs Platform. My manuscript is currently in its final stages of developmental editing and will be completed within the next week. Healing Interrupted is a literary narrative nonfiction memoir that chronicles my journey following a cognitive traumatic brain injury. It examines the challenges people face while navigating medical and legal systems post injury. Although deeply personal, the book is intended to educate, advocate, and provide hope and wisdom for anyone struggling through brain challenges. I’m interested in working with someone who has experience in copy-editing literary narrative nonfiction memoir or similar works. The goal is to create a polished, publication-ready book that reflects the professionalism and credibility of its subject matter. Specifically, I am seeking assistance with: Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and usage Sentence structure, syntax, and clarity Consistency in style, capitalization, and terminology Awkward or confusing constructions Missing, repeated, or incorrect words Unnecessary repetition Continuity issues and obvious inconsistencies I anticipate publishing additional books and companion workbooks in the future. My goal is to establish a long-term working relationship with someone who values collaboration, clear communication, and attention to detail. If you believe we would be a good match, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your editorial process, project timeline, fee structure, and examples of similar memoir or narrative nonfiction manuscripts you have worked with. I look forward to hearing from you. Respectfully, Jane Femia Author, Healing Interrupted
