We are positioning this manuscript as literary fiction, so we can strengthen the narrative in service of the story, but will continue to be authentic to the people, places, conversations, and events that inspired this story. Seeking an experienced developmental editor for a completed literary fiction blending reflective narrative, oral storytelling, family history, friendship, loss, and a strong sense of place, deeply rooted in Southern and Western culture. This manuscript is unpublished and confidential. Prior to receiving any manuscript materials, the selected editor will be required to execute a nondisclosure agreement. Following this, the selected editor will receive Chapters 1-4 (18K words) and a supporting style sheet for a paid developmental review. The developmental editor for the remaining 85,000-word manuscript (Phase 2) will be selected based upon evaluation of the editor fit from Phase 1 engagement. We are ready to move ahead on both phases. The manuscript intentionally preserves two distinct voices: the memoir narrator's reflective perspective and the oral-storytelling voice of its central subject. Preserving the integrity of both voices is essential. Feedback strongly suggests one of the manuscript's defining qualities is its rawness—the sense that observations, realizations, and emotional truths are being discovered rather than merely reported. Clarity should be improved where necessary, but not at the expense of personality, rhythm, authenticity, or narrative character. For example, the editor should query rather than revise instances of deliberate sentence fragments used for rhythm or emphasis. (Zero AI writing will be obvious.) We are seeking developmental feedback on: • Narrative flow and chapter progression • Pacing and reader engagement • Structural organization • Compression opportunities • Placement of anecdotes and supporting material • Thematic cohesion • Areas where additional context or connective tissue may strengthen the narrative = = = = = = = = = = = = To ensure a strong editorial fit, please provide: • Relevant memoir or narrative nonfiction experience • A brief description of your editorial approach • Typical deliverables (editorial letter, margin comments, etc.) • Availability and estimated turnaround time • Phase 1 pricing and Phase 2 remaining-manuscript pricing = = = = = = = = = = = = Required Deliverables 1. Editorial Letter (5–10 pages) addressing: • Audience identification and expectations • Market Positioning • Manuscript's strongest assets • Narrative’s greatest risks, narrative flow, pacing, friction • Compression opportunities • Placement and effectiveness of anecdotes • Voice and voice consistency • Distinction between narrator and Crocket • Reader engagement • Structural observations • Recommendations for the balance of the manuscript 2. Margin Comments / In-Line Notes (Not line editing) • Flow concerns, structural observations, repetition • Places needing context, areas where emotional impact is or is not landing • Questions 3. Strengths Assessment A short section answering what are the manuscript's most distinctive assets? 4. Editorial Approach A brief statement, if selected, what would be your primary developmental priorities for the remaining manuscript? Chapter-by-Chapter Notes, Optional For each chapter of what works, what doesn't, what needs attention Not required, but very useful.

I am looking for a serious fiction editor with strong instincts for geopolitical thrillers, intelligence fiction, historical fiction, and literary pacing. This is not a basic proofreading job. I need someone who can work as a developmental editor, line editor, and light ghostwriting partner when needed to help sharpen flow, tension, chapter structure, dialogue, and narrative momentum.

We are seeking a creative and detail-oriented Video Editor to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for assembling recorded footage into engaging, high-quality video content that aligns with brand guidelines and project objectives.

I'm looking for someone to assist with a variety of copywriting projects including email newsletters, articles, blog posts, press releases, landing pages, and social media content. Topics include healthcare, technology, and nonprofits. Editing experience is also a plus, particularly editing audio transcriptions. The workload will vary from week to week and month to month, probably starting with a few hours per week with the potential to increase. I prefer to pay per assignment rather than hourly, but since the projects will vary, hourly rate is a good placeholder. Let me know what experience you have with these types of writing and include 2-3 writing samples. Please, no generative AI in your samples, cover letter, or profile, as I expect you not to use AI for writing if I hire you. Thanks!
