Stylistic Refinement of Non-Fiction Manuscript for American Readers

have a non-fiction manuscript titled Exposed, approximately 80 pages, written in American English but originally translated from Spanish. My goal is for the final version to read as though it were natively written in fluent, natural American English for a general readership, with no hint of it being a translation. Here’s what I expect from you: • Transform overly literal or mechanical passages into smooth, idiomatic American English while keeping my authorial voice and Dominican cultural nuances intact. • Ensure each chapter flows naturally and reads clearly, refining sentence structure for both readability and coherence. • Make the text engaging while polishing grammar and eliminating inconsistencies or redundant phrasing. Deliverables: 1. A clean final version that reads effortlessly to an American audience. 2. A tracked-changes file to show edits made throughout. I’m willing to pay for a 5 pages test. If you are bilingual: American English/Spanish it will be a plus. If you have experience adapting texts or manuscripts written by non-native English speakers so they seamlessly align with U.S. cultural expectations while preserving the original intent and tone, I’d love to work with you! Bonus points if you've worked on non-fiction books targeting a general audience.
