Summary

Book Editor Needed – Business Negotiation Book (Approx. 98 Pages) I am looking for an experienced editor to work through the first draft of my upcoming business book on negotiation. The manuscript is approximately 98 pages long and has been written with significant support from AI tools. While the content, ideas, and framework are solid, I am looking for an editor who can help transform the draft into a more natural, engaging, and professional book. What I Need The ideal editor will: Review the manuscript in detail, not just for grammar and spelling. Identify and rewrite sections that feel overly AI-generated or robotic. Ensure its not detectable with AI recognition tools. Simplify language where needed to improve readability and impact. Improve the overall flow, transitions, and storytelling throughout the book. Ensure a consistent tone and voice across all chapters. Flag areas that feel repetitive, unclear, or overly complex. Help make the content more engaging for business professionals and leaders. About the Book Topic: Negotiation and business negotiations Length: Approximately 98 pages Audience: Business professionals, sales leaders, procurement professionals, and executives Current Status: First complete draft Ideal Experience Please apply if you have: Experience editing business, leadership, sales, or negotiation books. Experience editing AI-assisted manuscripts. Strong developmental and line-editing skills. Examples of books or long-form business content you have edited. In Your Proposal Please include: A brief description of your editing approach. Relevant examples of business books or similar projects you have edited. Your estimated timeline. Your pricing structure (fixed price preferred). I am looking for someone who can challenge the manuscript where necessary and help elevate it from a solid first draft into a professional, publishable business book.
