I have a complete AI-assisted manuscript introduction, ten full chapters organized across three parts, conclusion, and an About the Author section. The manuscript runs approximately 60,000–70,000 words and is fully structured. Every chapter has a clear arc, a central story, section headings, practical exercises, and a bridge to the next chapter. The ideas, frameworks, stories, and professional insights in this manuscript are entirely mine — drawn from twenty years of field work. The AI served as a drafting tool. What I need now is a skilled human collaborator who can take what has been built and rewrite it in a voice that is fully, authentically human capturing my specific voice, my storytelling style, and my way of speaking to leaders without ever sounding like it came from a machine. This is not a from-scratch project. You are not being asked to develop content or conduct research. The content is there. The architecture is there. The stories are there. What I need is a writer who can make it breathe. The rewrite should preserve all core ideas, frameworks, stories, and chapter structure while recasting every sentence in natural, human prose that sounds like a specific person not a polished, generic voice. Practical without being cold. Honest without being harsh. What a strong candidate looks like: You have experience ghostwriting or collaborating on nonfiction books, specifically in leadership, self-help, education, or adjacent genres. You know the difference between a manuscript that is technically correct and one that actually sounds like a human being talking to another human being. You are a skilled interviewer who can get inside a subject’s voice and reproduce it faithfully. You are comfortable receiving feedback, iterating on chapters, and working toward a standard rather than defending your first draft. You do not need to share my specific background in education or organizational consulting but you need to understand that world well enough to write convincingly inside it. Experience with books that have been traditionally published or have found significant audiences is a strong plus. Familiarity with the kind of writing Ryan Leak, Brené Brown, Patrick Lencioni, or similar communicators produce is also a strong indicator of fit. Please do not send me a generic proposal about your qualifications. I will not read it past the first paragraph. Instead, tell me three things: One — Describe a specific project where you rewrote or substantially reworked existing content and made it sound like a real, specific human being. What was the genre? What was your process for capturing someone’s voice? What made the final product better than what you started with? Two — Tell me what you would do in the first two weeks of this engagement. Not in vague terms specifically. What would you need from me? What would you produce? How would you test whether you had captured my voice before committing to a full chapter? Three — Tell me what your rate is and how you prefer to structure a project of this scope by the word, by the chapter, by the milestone, or otherwise. Be direct. I respect directness. The central argument of Culture Starts With You is that belonging is never built by an organization, it is built by a person. Specifically, the person with the most influence in any given room. The book introduces three frameworks: the Identity Clarity Framework (Know Your Story, Know Your Bias, Know Your Impact), the distinction between being culturally informed versus culturally present, and the seven daily habits of belonging. It also introduces a five-question restorative conversation model drawn from my restorative practices work in schools and organizations. The book is organized in three parts. Part One (Go) is about the courage to examine yourself before you lead anyone else. Part Two (Grow) is about building the specific daily habits that translate awareness into presence. Part Three (Glow) is about becoming the kind of person whose presence builds culture rather than erodes it. The book closes with a story about a principal standing at the entrance of her school on the last day of my visit. A boy who hadn’t made eye contact with adults in six months stopped on his way out the door and said to her Good day today. She hadn’t run a program. She had built a building where it was safe to be seen. That is the book. That is the voice. That is what I need help making fully, permanently human.

I'm terrible at outlines. I am usually a panster, but I'm trying to get my life together and learn to write under an outline. I have deadlines, and no time to write one now, as I just want to start writing. I have a full synopsis. I just need someone to read the synopsis, and then write the outline for me. This is a RomCom / Contemporary Spicy Romance. Set in college, 20 and 21 year old, sports (football) romance. Mashup of The Deal vs She's All That. No AI! I will not accept AI generated content. You'd need to sign an NDA, so I can protect my work.

Beta reader for a literary novel (spiritual & recovery themes) — paid trial, first 30 pages I’m an author looking for 2–3 thoughtful beta readers for my literary novel — about 50,000 words, upmarket/literary fiction with spiritual and recovery themes. In the neighborhood of The Alchemist and Jonathan Livingston Seagull, with the spare prose of The Old Man and the Sea. It follows one man’s life, and the lives around it, as he tries to make peace with love, loss, and death. This is a paid trial read. I’ll send the first ~30 pages (about 7,500 words). I’m not looking for line edits or proofreading — I want your honest reaction as a reader: where you were pulled in, where you drifted, whether you’d have kept going. Specific and honest is worth far more to me than kind. You’ll answer a short set of questions after reading. Based on how useful the feedback is, I’ll invite one or two readers to continue with the full manuscript at a higher rate. Pay: $75 for the 30-page read + written answers. Continuation readers: $250–$350 for the full book. To apply, tell me: what you like to read (especially any literary or spiritual fiction); a few sentences reacting to a book or opening you loved or hated, so I can see how you talk about writing; and your turnaround time. Please keep the manuscript confidential. And send these questions with the pages — they’re built to get honest, useful answers instead of “I liked it”: • The very first page: would you have kept reading? Why or why not? • Where were you most pulled in, and where did your attention drift or did you want to stop? Be specific about the spot. • Was anything confusing — a line or moment you had to reread? • Did the voice work for you, or get in the way? • Did the main character feel like a real person you cared about? • If you saw this in a bookstore and read the first pages, would you buy it? Honestly. • One thing you’d change.

I've finished the full draft of a nonfiction book in the personal-development and spirituality space. It's roughly ~25,000 words. Before I take it further, I want an honest, experienced outside read. I'm looking for someone to read it as both a reader and an editor and tell me the truth: where it moves you and where it falls flat, whether the voice is strong and consistent, whether the structure and flow work, where it drags or repeats itself, what's missing, and how it holds up against other books in this genre. I'm not after line editing or proofreading yet. I want big-picture, developmental feedback, and I would much rather hear what's weak than be told it's great. Deliverable: a written assessment, a page or two is plenty, covering the main strengths, the biggest weaknesses, and specific suggestions. Margin notes are a welcome bonus, and a short call to talk it through afterward would be ideal. To be a fit, you should have real experience editing or reviewing nonfiction in self-help, personal growth, spirituality, or memoir, and be comfortable preserving an author's voice rather than reshaping it into your own. In your proposal, please include: a sentence or two on relevant books or projects you've worked on, how you approach this kind of feedback, your rate and turnaround, and, if you're willing, a brief sample critique of the opening few pages. The manuscript is unpublished, so I'll ask the right person to work under a simple confidentiality agreement.
