Memoir/Clinical Nonfiction Copyeditor Needed – Women's Health, Sensitive Content

Posted 4 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm seeking an experienced copyeditor for my completed memoir manuscript, roughly 80,000–90,000 words, that blends personal narrative with clinical health information focused on perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy, and women's midlife health. The manuscript combines memoir storytelling with expert clinical guidance, so experience with narrative nonfiction, women's health, or wellness writing is a strong plus. I write under my professional title - Jennifer Gularson, PA-C, and maintaining that authentic, confident voice throughout the edit is important to me — please keep that in mind when suggesting changes to tone or phrasing. I am a first time author and using this to establish myself as an authority in women's health and start meaningful conversations about mid life. The book contains sensitive personal and medical content, so a signed NDA will be required before I share the full manuscript. I'm looking for copyediting with some light line editing for flow — the structural/developmental work is already complete, so this is not a developmental edit. Although, suggestions will be welcome if it will enhance the book. Please share relevant book editing samples or credits, and let me know your typical turnaround time and rate per word.
