Hi there, We are currently developing a rhyming children’s picture book (age 4-7) and are actively looking for an editor to take the book to the next level. The book is centered around a chosen family, community, and the many people who help a child grow. We’re especially hoping to work with someone experienced in picture books and lyrical/read-aloud storytelling. At this stage, we are looking for an editor who can help us refine the manuscript: - Overall flow, pacing, and read-aloud rhythm - Structural and language feedback - Age appropriateness and readability - Overall polish - Visual style feedback We already have an illustrator attached to the project and are now entering the refinement stage before exploring publishing options. If this sounds like a project you may be interested in, we would love to learn more about your process, availability, and rates. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. We truly appreciate it and look forward to connecting. Thank you!

##The project *Before the Storm: A Father's Story of Autism, Meltdowns, and Learning to Hear What His Son Couldn't Say* is a short narrative nonfiction / memoir manuscript, roughly 16,000 words, written under a pen name (Simon Hale). It's a true story: a father's account of raising his autistic son, structured in three acts — the daily reality of the struggle, the family learning to read the boy, and what they decided to build as a result. The book ends by introducing a real project the family is developing. It's written for parents of autistic and special-needs children, and it's intended to be both a standalone book and the front door to a related product and community. I'm hiring a developmental editor for a full critical pass before publication. I have a hard production deadline (details below), so turnaround matters. ## What I need from you A developmental / substantive edit — not a copyedit or proofread (those come later). I want your assessment of the book at the level of structure, pacing, voice, emotional impact, and credibility. Specifically: 1. **Does it work as a whole?** Is the three-act arc earned? Does the ending (the introduction of the project) land as a natural conclusion to the story, or does it read like a pitch — and if so, exactly where does it tip? 2. **Pacing and momentum.** Where does it drag, repeat itself, or lose you? Where do you skim? Flag specific passages. 3. **Voice and tone.** Is the first-person father's voice consistent, warm, and credible? Where does it slip into sentimentality, over-writing, or "tell" instead of "show"? 4. **Emotional honesty.** Where does anything ring false, exaggerated, or written-for-effect rather than true? This is a personal story and I would rather it be unflinching than flattering. 5. **The recurring metaphors and motifs** (e.g., the "needle," the barometer, "before the storm"). Are they effective or overused? Flag repetition. 6. **Chapter-level notes.** Which chapters are strongest, which are weakest, and why. What would you cut, expand, or reorder? 7. **The science.** The book weaves in research (masking, alexithymia, physiological prediction of meltdowns, co-regulation, etc.) with a sourced notes section at the back. Does the science land naturally in the narrative without lecturing, and does anything feel overstated? 8. **Anything that would draw criticism.** Where might a skeptical reader, a clinician, or an autistic self-advocate object? I want those spots flagged hard. ## What I do NOT need Encouragement. I've already had early readers tell me they love it, and that feedback hasn't helped me improve the book. I'm paying specifically for the critical eye those readers couldn't give me. Please be direct — tell me what isn't working, what's weak, what you'd cut. Blunt is useful; polite is not. You will not hurt my feelings, and candor is the single most valuable thing you can deliver. ## Format of deliverable Whatever you work best in — tracked changes and margin comments in the Word document, an editorial letter summarizing the big-picture notes, or both (both is ideal: a 1–3 page editorial letter for the structural/global issues, plus in-line comments for specific spots). I care more about the substance of the feedback than the format. ## Logistics - Manuscript: ~16,000 words, Word document, provided on hire. - Timeline: I need notes back within [X] days — I have a firm publication deadline of mid-July and need time to integrate your feedback. Please only take this on if you can meet that turnaround. - Before we start the full edit, I'd like a **paid sample edit of one chapter** (your choice or mine) so we can confirm fit. I'll pay for the sample regardless of whether we proceed. - Confidentiality: this is an unpublished manuscript and a true family story told under a pen name. Please keep it confidential. ## About fit This book benefits from an editor with experience in **memoir or narrative nonfiction specifically** (not primarily fiction). If you have any background, lived experience, or subject familiarity with autism, neurodiversity, disability, or special-needs parenting, please mention it — it's genuinely valuable for this project, though not required. ## To respond Please tell me: (1) your relevant memoir/nonfiction editing experience, (2) your availability against the timeline above, (3) your rate for a ~16k-word developmental edit plus a one-chapter paid sample, and (4) in a sentence or two, what you think a developmental edit should accomplish. That last one tells me more than a portfolio.

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.
