I’m looking for a talented ghostwriter / developmental editor / beta reader to help me finish a contemporary hockey romance novel. The book is already written and has a strong voice, established characters, chapter outlines, and overall direction. I need someone who can step into the existing tone and help elevate, expand, and finish the story while keeping the chemistry, pacing, and humor consistent. Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance Hockey Romance High heat / spicy Off-limits romance First person present tense Alternating POV About the Story: Grumpy professional hockey player + the team physiotherapist (who also happens to be the coach’s daughter). Strong sexual tension, playful banter, possessiveness, secret hookups, emotional intimacy slowly sneaking in while both characters stay in denial. The vibe is: Sexy Fast paced Funny Addictive Emotion through actions, not long emotional speeches What I Need Help With: Expanding scenes and chapters Keeping character voices consistent Strengthening pacing and tension Writing spicy scenes that feel natural and character-driven Light editing and smoothing transitions Brainstorming scenes/dialogue Finish remaining chapters Important: I do NOT want overly flowery writing or slow emotional introspection. I prefer sharp dialogue, strong chemistry, playful tension, and modern romance pacing. I don't mind the use of AI, but please edit after and don't send me pure AI-written texts - since I use AI a lot myself, I will call you out on it immediately. I need high-quality and creative writing.

Hi, I need an experienced native English speaker/proofreader to check 12 pages for an English language textbook – including typos, clarity, uniform formatting of fonts and spacing across all 12 pages (same activity page for 12 sequential units). My regular proofreader is suddenly unavailable, and I need the final pages to submit by Friday. From my experience, if you're locked in, this should take about 3 hours. Sample page attached.

We are looking for a talented video editor and storyteller to create a cinematic promotional video for our nonprofit organization's Women's Outdoor Culture Camp. This is not a flashy advertisement. We want an emotional, authentic story that inspires women to reconnect with nature, build confidence, and experience the outdoors in a completely different way. About Our Organization We are This Is My Quest, a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit that provides environmental education and outdoor programming for youth, women, veterans, and underserved communities. Our Women's Outdoor Culture Camp is unlike most outdoor camps. It is intentionally primitive. Participants learn to become comfortable with the outdoors by experiencing it at a simple, foundational level while building practical skills and meaningful connections.

About us We're NOVOS — a science-first longevity company built by scientists from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Duke, and Yale. We make supplements and biological-age tests that help people stay themselves for longer. NOVOS Core is the first formula built to target all 12 mechanisms of aging at once — patent-pending, based on 400+ studies, and the only supplement shown to extend lifespan in aged mice by nearly 20%. Our category is loud, exaggerated, and visually noisy. We're the opposite: restrained, rigorous, human-first. We're looking for an editor who understands that restraint reads as premium — and who can still stop a thumb mid-scroll. The role You'll own video production across YouTube, social (Meta, Instagram, TikTok), and web. That means both: • Long-form — founder content, science explainers, customer-story features, podcast-style cuts • Short-form — vertical hooks, ad creative variants, organic social, and cutdowns repurposed from long-form This is an ongoing engagement with ad-hoc project requests on a weekly basis — some weeks a single hero edit, some weeks a batch of short-form variants. We need someone reliable, fast, and self-directed enough to turn briefs around without hand-holding. And this isn't a pure editing seat. We want someone who thinks like a marketer first and an editor second — someone who understands buyer psychology at each stage of consideration, and can build creative that moves a viewer from curious to convinced to customer. One standard that runs through everything we make When we talk about our products, we say things no other brand could say. If a competitor could swap their logo onto our creative and run it unchanged, we've failed. "Backed by science" is a line anyone can steal. "The only supplement shown to extend lifespan in aged mice by nearly 20%" is ours alone. You'll be expected to reach for the specific, ownable proof point every time — not the generic wellness gloss the category drowns in. What you'll actually do • Cut long-form founder and educational content, then atomize it into short-form across channels • Build top-of-funnel hooks that lead with emotional truth, and mid-funnel creative that leads with proof — clinical charts, press logos, credibility overlays • Produce multiple creative variants per concept for A/B testing: different hooks, different opening frames, different pacing • Turn real customer before/after stories into scroll-stopping features Hold a consistent visual system across every format: clean, editorial, science-supported, never gimmicky You're a strong fit if you • Have a reel showing both long-form storytelling and high-performing short-form • Understand what makes people buy — you've made creative that converted, not just creative that looked good • Know the difference between top-of-funnel and bottom-of-funnel creative, and can name why a hook works • Have worked with (or aspire to the standard of) premium, considered brands — Apple, AG1, Seed — not typical supplement-ad energy • Can take a rough brief and return something sharper than what was asked for • Are fast, self-directed, and comfortable owning production end-to-end Bonus points • Experience in health, wellness, longevity, or DTC supplements • Comfort with claims-sensitive content — our copy is FDA/FTC-compliant, and video is no exception (we'll guide you) • Motion graphics / data-visualization skills for science explainers To apply Send your reel or portfolio. In 2–3 sentences, tell us about one piece of video content you made that drove a real business result — and why you think it worked. Applications without a reel and that note won't be reviewed.

I’m looking for a video editor to create a short founder video for a new home remodeling/renovation savings business. I need someone that can turn this around ASAP also - hopefully no more than 1-2 days. I recorded multiple takes of myself speaking on camera - in total I chose 6 clips fyi. I will provide the video clips, timestamps, and the script/message I was trying to cover. I need you to choose the best sections, edit them together naturally, clean up the pacing if needed, improve audio if needed, add captions, and add a few simple text overlays. This is NOT supposed to feel flashy, corporate, or like a YouTube ad or an IG Influencer. It should feel sincere, trustworthy, and authentic - it is SUPER important that you can understand this tone and that you care about your work and won't just throw this together quickly. Please don't reply if that's not of interest to you. Please, you need to be able to understand the audience to guide text overlays and the tone. They are mostly older Florida homeowners who may be planning a major remodel or renovation project. The tone should feel protective, honest, and personal — like a founder explaining why he started the business after helping his mom save money on several big home projects. Final video goal: * Around 2:30-3:00 min, but prefer less if possible (was going for 2 mins or under but clips chosen are 3:13 mins total) * Natural founder/story video * Clean jump cuts are okay * Keep it authentic, not overproduced * Improve audio (if needed - seems fine) and pacing * Add clear captions * Add a few simple text and/or graphics overlays only where helpful and not overkill with these *dub in 3 words if possible and remove one word; add a text disclaimer when video stops * Export as 1080p MP4, 16:9 landscape, H.264 (Final export: web-ready 1080p MP4, 16:9 landscape, H.264 video codec, AAC audio. Please also provide a captioned version and a clean version without captions if possible. And provide format for social media if different. Also as compressed as possible) * Provide one revision I will provide: * All video clips * Preferred timestamps * Final script/message * Notes on tone and target audience Please respond with: 1. IMPORTANT: A link to 1–2 similar talking-head/founder videos you edited or other works that you feel relay a similar message. 2. How you would make this feel authentic and trustworthy, not overproduced. 3. Your turnaround time. 4. Whether you can provide captions and a web-ready MP4 file. I plan to have more video editing work if I can find the right person. Thanks.

I'm building an iOS app and need a reliable editor to assemble short vertical videos (15–35 sec) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Same clip reposts to all three. This is assembly + captioning, not creative direction. I write the scripts, record the voiceover, and point you to the B-roll. Your job is to put it together cleanly and consistently to a fixed style. If you nail the style and hit deadlines, this becomes steady ongoing work. You'll receive: a script, a voiceover MP3, and B-roll direction (a shared folder of clips). You'll deliver: a finished 9:16 video with: Word-by-word burned-in captions (not full-sentence subtitles), synced to the voiceover One bold sans-serif font; white text with a coral accent on keywords Calm, clean cuts that match the voiceover pacing A warm, grown-up aesthetic — no flashy transitions, no zoom-pumps, no "viral energy" effects Must-haves: A portfolio with restrained short-form work (clean and minimal, not over-edited) Experience with faceless, voiceover-driven content Consistency and reliable turnaround over flashiness To apply: In your first line, tell me the most over-edited thing you see editors do to short-form video and why you'd avoid it. (This tells me you read the brief.) Then link 1–2 portfolio samples that show calm, minimal editing. Shortlisted editors get a small paid test (one video) before any ongoing arrangement.

Job Title: Beta Reader/Editorial Consultant Needed for Historical Fiction Novel (100k words) Project Overview Overview My career has been spent both in front of and behind the camera, with credits ranging from The Insider to Iron Man. Most recently, I had the honor of winning a BAFTA for a short film in which I served as the lead actor—a milestone that underscores my commitment to powerful, character-driven storytelling. For much of my career, Hollywood cast me behind a mask—the trope of the villain or the terrorist. Yet, I turned that challenge into my greatest creative asset; I used the opportunities that came my way to produce and direct my own short films and documentaries, and to write, co-write, and star in my own feature films. Through this journey, I realized that I wanted to dig deeper than the screen allows. That is why I am writing my debut historical novel, Omar ibn Said: Master of Deception. The project is rooted in the deep spiritual traditions of Sufism, the raw reality of American slavery, and the defining crucible of the American Civil War. This is more than a novel; it is a legacy project and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. As both a filmmaker and an author, I am a seeker of truth, dedicated to using my voice to honor the history that shaped our world. I am currently in the final stages of drafting a 100,000-word historical fiction novel that explores the final years of Omar ibn Said, an enslaved Islamic scholar whose life intersected with the harrowing reality of the American Civil War era. This project is a deeply personal endeavor. My career as a filmmaker has spanned forty years, and I am applying my experience in visual storytelling to literature. I am writing to re-narrate a period of history that is often misrepresented, focusing on the intersection of faith, systemic brutality, and the human spirit’s capacity for internal resistance. This is not a standard historical novel; it is a cinematic, "no-fat" narrative where every sentence is chosen for its atmospheric detail and emotional resonance. The Creative Vision The manuscript focuses on the internal life of a man displaced from his homeland and forced into the machinery of American slavery. I am interested in the quiet, often overlooked moments: the persistence of spiritual practice under duress, the daily struggle against dehumanization, and the quiet ways in which enslaved communities forged paths of resistance. The aesthetic of the writing is intentionally lean. I prioritize sensory imagery—the sights, sounds, and textures of the 19th-century American South—over exposition. I want the reader to feel the weight of the air, the coldness of the iron, and the quiet dignity of a man who refused to let his spirit be broken. Note on Manuscript Stage & The "Organic" Process Please be aware that this manuscript is currently in its first complete draft stage. It has been written with an intense focus on building the narrative, developing the characters, and establishing the emotional tone of the book. It has not yet passed through the hands of a professional developmental editor, a line editor, or a proofreader. I am looking for a partner who can see the "bones" of the story. I need someone who can help me identify if the foundation is sound. I am looking for "big picture" critique—does the heart of the story beat? Does the pacing hold the reader’s interest? Is the historical reality grounded and respectful? By focusing on these structural elements now, I am preparing the work to enter the formal editorial funnel once this foundation is fully solidified. Who I am looking for (Desired Expertise) I am seeking a reader who possesses a deep, demonstrable understanding of at least two of the following areas. Please detail your experience in these topics when you apply: Sufi Traditions & Islamic Spiritual Practices: I need someone who understands the internal rhythm of Islamic reflection and can evaluate whether the tone of Omar’s prayers and meditations feels authentic and soulful. The Era of American Slavery & The Civil War: I require an in-depth understanding of the sociopolitical climate of the 19th-century American South. This includes the harsh realities of the plantation system, the development of the railroad industry, and the specific historical pressures placed on enslaved individuals. African American History/Literature: I am looking for a reader who respects the gravity of this subject matter and understands the cultural nuances required to handle it with dignity. The reader must be able to identify where the narrative might inadvertently lean into tired tropes and help me pivot toward a more original, respectful, and powerful representation. Your Role & Scope of Work As a reader, your role is to act as a sounding board. I am not looking for someone to fix my grammar or hunt for typos. I am looking for a comprehensive, analytical reader report that directly addresses: 1. Narrative Arc & Pacing: Does the story maintain its intensity? Are there sections that feel stagnant or unnecessary to the emotional journey of the protagonist? 2. Characterization: Is Omar’s voice authentic and consistent? Does the reader connect with his internal landscape? 3. Cultural/Historical Authenticity: Does the representation of his faith, the brutality of his enslavement, and the historical landscape of the Civil War feel grounded and respectful? 4. Emotional Resonance: Does the story successfully convey the struggle, the weight of historical trauma, and the pursuit of freedom? 5. Cinematic Quality: Does the narrative evoke vivid, sensory environments? As a filmmaker, I am looking for prose that paints a picture as clearly as a camera lens. Selection Process Because this project is sensitive and represents a significant investment of time, the selection process will be deliberate. It will begin with a paid test reading of the first three chapters. I am offering a flat fee of $75 for this initial sample report. If your feedback demonstrates a strong understanding of the material and a constructive, analytical style, we will proceed with a separate, comprehensive agreement for the full 100,000-word manuscript. Please note that I require a standard Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to be signed prior to the release of any text to protect the intellectual property of this original work. Application Requirements When applying, please include the following: 1. Expertise Profile: Clearly state which of the three areas (Sufism, Slavery/Civil War History, African American Studies) you are most familiar with. 2. Experience: Provide a brief example of your experience in evaluating literature, historical content, or sensitivity-focused material. 3. Availability: Your estimated timeframe for completing a full read-through and providing a detailed report once the full manuscript is shared. 4. Motivation: A short statement on why this specific project and subject matter interests you. I am looking for a partner who is as passionate about uncovering hidden historical narratives as I am. I look forward to reading your applications.
