Nonfiction Editor & Rewriter to Polish Rough Book Draft.

Posted 6 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’ve written a first draft of my book (memoir/self-help), but I am entirely too close to the material and know the structure and flow need a professional touch. I have the raw content, but the narrative lacks the punch and pacing required to keep readers hooked. I am looking for a seasoned nonfiction editor/ghostwriter with a decade-plus track record to review what I have, reorganize the framework, and rewrite sections to elevate the overall quality. Scope of work: Comprehensive developmental edit and structural critique Line editing and rewriting of weak sections Ensuring a consistent, compelling human narrative voice throughout If you specialize in taking chaotic or rough first drafts and turning them into polished, page-turning nonfiction, please apply with samples of before-and-after work or relevant testimonials.
