Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
Project Overview I'm looking for an experienced nonfiction business writer to develop the first draft of a professionally published business guide based on an extensive discovery process that has already been completed. This is not a blank-page writing assignment. The strategy, content architecture, audience, positioning, chapter direction, and source material have already been developed. Your role is to transform that material into a cohesive, engaging first draft. The finished guide will help business owners navigate the transition of selling their business through a single-seller auction. It combines practical education, real client stories, and actionable planning guidance. About the Project You'll receive: A comprehensive Process Framework Multiple interview transcripts with business owners Content strategy and chapter architecture Clear editorial direction Ongoing feedback throughout the project The guide will ultimately be professionally designed and published as part of a larger educational platform. What I'm Looking For An experienced nonfiction writer who can: Transform research into engaging long-form content Write in a calm, conversational, professional voice Organize ideas into logical chapters Weave interview excerpts naturally into the narrative Balance storytelling with practical education Accept editorial feedback and revisions This is not a marketing copywriting project. It's closer to writing a business book or executive guide. Preferred Experience I'd love to see examples of work involving: Business books Executive thought leadership Ghostwriting Long-form educational content Business consulting Leadership Family business Succession planning Professional services Experience interviewing executives or working from interview transcripts is a significant plus. Deliverables First draft of approximately 10–12 chapters Organized in accordance with the supplied framework Written in Microsoft Word Revision of draft based on editorial feedback Final editing and polishing will be handled separately. Important I will remain the Creative Director for this project. I'm not looking for someone to redefine the structure or create a different vision. I'm looking for someone who enjoys taking a well-developed strategy and bringing it to life through thoughtful, high-quality writing.
