Summary

Job Description: I am looking for a skilled developmental editor and proofreader to refine the structure, flow, clarity, and word choice of my upcoming book manuscript.

Proofreading: Catch grammar, punctuation, and typos before the layout stage.The Ideal Freelancer:Proven experience editing non-fiction, medical, or alternative health/wellness textbooks. * Familiarity with modern biomechanics (Thomas Myers' Anatomy Trains framework is a massive plus!). * Basic understanding or familiarity with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) concepts and terminology. Excellent eye for structural flow and engaging prose. Project Length & Budget: Total page count: ard 120 pages Timeline: 3–4 weeks. Please provide your fixed-price quote or hourly rate along with a sample of similar work you have edited.
