We are seeking TWO editors (one male, one female) to look over a spicy ~100k dark fantasy monster romance inspired by Nosferatu, with the setting inspired by The Witcher, Six of Crows, and Lord of the Rings and have experience with developmental and copy editing. Our author is autistic so some writing may be clunky or worded oddly. We are looking for editors who are comfortable doing rewrites, identify inconsistencies, eliminate repetition, and are able to make sure the over all plot runs smoothly. You will also be credited and thanked as editors in the back matter of the novel. The book is written in a dual POV first person format, and we are seeking one male and one female to read each section and make sure it works in that POV to maximize authenticity. The work will be approximately ~50k words per person (the entire book will be available to you for continuity, but you will only work on corresponding chapters). Our budget is small at the moment, approximately $125 per ~25k words, but you will receive a bonus after each section is completed. The project will be divided into milestones. Due to our smaller budget, we are happy to work with new talent on Upwork! We would prefer to work with local talent in Hawaii, since the setting is inspired by Hawaii and the cultural diversity of the islands, but we are open to finding someone in the contiguous United States as well. Please no AI. We are seeking human talent. Work will be done on the same Google doc so you will be able to see each other's edits. We are happy to do paid samples to make sure you are a good fit prior to hiring for the project. Thank you!

Wanted: a person who loves grammar and making corrections. My name is Toby Neighbors. I’m a full time novelist with over 120 books published. I’m seeking an enthusiastic proofreader to go through manuscripts looking for errors in grammar, spelling, missed words, and difficult sentence structure. I go over my manuscripts with Grammerly, but inevitably things get missed. I need a reliable proofreader who can read through the manuscript make minor changes, and return to me a clean copy. I typically write fast, and send my proofreader the manuscript in four sections. Each one is approximately 20k words. Once your work is complete I will send the manuscript to a panel of Beta readers who return it with any mistakes that slipped past you. I average about a book a month. I have a hard budget of $300 per manuscript (unless it goes over 100k words). I’m looking for someone who loves Sci-Fi but enjoys good stories in all genres. If that’s you, and you are interested in ongoing work, I would love to hear from you. I have attached a short sample of my latest book to give you an idea of what you’ll be working with. It is exactly what was sent to my previous editor.

I'm a Black founder and CEO building AI-powered workforce infrastructure for public-sector programs in California. I'm launching a Substack and LinkedIn thought leadership practice focused on AI, workforce ecosystems, and clean energy policy — areas where I have deep field expertise and a delivered platform (Matchpoint, LA County). I need a fractional content partner who can: — Conduct biweekly recorded conversations with me (30–45 min on Zoom) and turn them into polished essays and LinkedIn posts in my voice — Manage the full content calendar across Substack and LinkedIn — Set up and manage scheduling automation (Buffer or Hypefury) — Send me a content brief for approval before drafting anything — Deliver drafts in Google Docs with comments flagging places where specificity or voice could be stronger — Send a monthly one-page performance report (open rates, subscriber growth, LinkedIn engagement) This is NOT a brand content or marketing role. I need someone who has ghostwritten for executives or founders — ideally in policy, workforce development, equity, clean energy, or public sector adjacent fields. If you've never written for someone whose LinkedIn audience includes county program directors, policy researchers, and community organizers, this is not the right fit. Content volume: one Substack essay every 5–6 weeks (1,200–2,000 words), eight LinkedIn posts per month (two per week: one substantive 150–300 words, one observation 50–100 words), one 30-min interview series per month (you coordinate recording and publish audio + transcript excerpt). Please include in your application: 1. At least one writing sample where you ghostwrote for an executive or founder — ideally something that helped them build an audience or earn a speaking invitation. 2. One sentence describing how you would conduct a first conversation with a new client to learn their voice. 3. Familiarity with JFF's Language of Racial Economic Equity guide or equivalent asset-based language frameworks is required. Name the framework you're familiar with. Rate: $45–$80/hour depending on experience. Estimated 15–20 hours/month. Starting immediately.

Beta Reader Needed — Sweet Small-Town Hockey Romance Novella (20k–21k words) Job Description I'm looking for an experienced beta reader who reads sweet or clean contemporary romance to go through my completed novella and give me honest, detailed feedback before I publish. The manuscript was drafted with AI assistance and has already been through a full self-edit, copyedit, and continuity pass on my end. What I need now is a real reader's perspective — someone to tell me if the story actually lands emotionally, feels natural on the page, and delivers what romance readers expect from this genre. This isn't a line edit or proofread; I'm looking for developmental, reader-level feedback. Book Details Title: The Wrong Cottage: A Pittsburgh Titans Novella Genre: Sweet / clean contemporary small-town romance (hockey romance) Heat level: Closed-door — 1–2 out of 5. No explicit content. Word count: Approximately 20,000–21,000 words (15 chapters plus an epilogue) Ending: Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers, no love triangles Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, mistaken identity, he-falls-first, only one bed This novella is the first in a planned series, so I'm also curious whether the story makes readers want to keep following the world and the characters introduced for future books. What I'm Looking For A written feedback report covering (I'll provide a short template so this is easy to fill out): Overall story impression Plot holes or confusing sections Character believability Emotional engagement Pacing Voice and tone consistency Repetitive phrasing or AI-style writing patterns Alignment with sweet romance reader expectations Inline comments left directly in the manuscript (Google Docs or Word preferred), flagging: Confusing scenes Dialogue that feels unnatural Repetition Timeline issues Emotional flatness Areas that need strengthening To Apply, Please Include Your experience reading or reviewing sweet/clean contemporary romance A sample of a beta report you've written before, if you have one Your estimated turnaround time Your rate for a manuscript this length Budget This is a fixed-price project. Given the short length (roughly a two-hour read), I'm budgeting $40–$50 for this beta read.

What I need A full line edit and copyedit of the manuscript, checking grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency (timeline, names, formatting) Preservation of first-person voice throughout, with no rewording for style unless something is a genuine error A tracked-changes version I can review and accept or reject line by line, plus a brief editorial note at the end flagging any recurring issues No use of em dashes anywhere in suggested edits Familiarity with or willingness to follow a locked style sheet I will provide (banned words and phrases, formatting rules) TOXIC — Style Sheet for Editors Manuscript by Serena Amari (pen name) | Memoir, approx. 19,000 words, 31 chapters Voice and Point of View ● First person throughout. Do not shift to second or third person for the author's own experience, even in passages that feel reflective or distanced. ● Voice is plain, observational, and restrained. Avoid suggesting edits that add literary flourish or emotional intensifying language. ● Tone is graceful, not accusatory. The author is not attacking her daughter in the text; do not flag this as a gap or suggest "balancing" language. Hard Rules — No Exceptions ● No em dashes anywhere. Use commas, semicolons, periods, or restructured sentences instead. ● No meta-commentary about the manuscript itself (no lines like "this is why I am writing this book" or similar self-referential framing). ● No invented details, quotes, or facts. Flag anything that reads as unverifiable rather than adding to it. Banned Words and Phrases ● AI-pattern vocabulary: delve, tapestry, nuanced, resonate, navigate, underscores, highlights, robust, framework, speaks to, and similar. ● Filler phrases: "Let me say this plainly," "I want to sit with that," "the way X always does," "and I will not pretend otherwise," "That is worth saying plainly," or close variants of any of these. ● "Door" metaphors (e.g., closing doors, open doors) and "sickness" language used metaphorically for the estrangement. ● Formulaic sign-offs or summary sentences that wrap up a chapter with a tidy moral. Names and Privacy ● No real names for any family members appear in the text. Family members are referred to by their relationship to the author (daughter, husband, mother, etc.). Preserve this; do not suggest adding names for clarity. ● The author writes under the pen name Serena Amari. This is intentional and should not be flagged. Scope of This Edit ● This is a line and copyedit, not a developmental edit. Structure, chapter order, and content are locked. ● Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency (timeline, formatting, recurring details) are in scope. ● Rewording for style is out of scope unless something is a clear grammatical or mechanical error. Questions about any of the above should go to the author before changes are made. Thank you in advance!
