Hi, I am working on publishing a short poetry collection and need an editor to finish out the publishing process. I had an editor who did major edits already. 2 beta readers have read already. I need someone who can do a look over on the poems, provide feedback based on what the beta readers have said, back cover description, about the author, and any other editing tasks that are needed. This book will have to be Amazon KDP ready. I am working with a graphic designer currently. I am on a budget, so it will have to be a fixed price. Thank you in advance. Ashley

Book Promotion Brand: A consolidated brand that speaks to a dual audience: readers looking for their next great romance, and authors looking to buy book promotion spots.

Policy Compliance & Romance Copywriting (Crucial): Keep all ad creatives and organic copy clean to bypass Meta’s strict adult-content filters. You must know how to sell to a romance reader audience using genre-specific hooks without triggering policy violations. Community Engagement: Provide light community management by reviewing notifications a few times a week and replying to comments across our active Facebook and Instagram pages. Requirements: Proven, hands-on experience executing social media calendars and designing graphics for authors, book publishers, or media industry (romance genre experience is preferred). High-level knowledge and understanding of Meta's adult content policy to ensure our accounts are never accidentally flagged for policy violations. Ability to sell and communicate to a romance reader audience using engaging, compliant copywriting and graphic design.

Strong organizational skills and reliability, excellent communication skills, fluent English speaker. To Apply: Please provide examples of graphics or social media posts you have designed for past clients, share a brief overview of your tactical experience running Meta ads for authors (specifically how you navigate adult content filters), and provide your proposed fixed monthly rate for this specific scope of work.
