Project Overview I am seeking an experienced children's book editor to review and refine a manuscript based on a true story about a 9-year-old girl who survived a small airplane crash with her father. The book focuses on courage, family, faith, healing, resilience, and emotional recovery. It is intended for elementary-aged readers and may eventually be distributed through schools, libraries, and online retailers. What I Need The manuscript has already been written, but portions of it currently read more like an adult reflecting on the experience rather than a 9-year-old child telling the story. I am looking for an editor who can: * Refine the manuscript to sound authentic to a fourth-grade reader * Preserve the emotional impact and true events of the story * Improve pacing and readability * Reduce repetition where appropriate * Help adapt the manuscript into a children's picture book format (approximately 24 pages) * Maintain faith-based themes and family-centered messaging * Provide recommendations for age-appropriate language and school-readiness Ideal Experience Please apply if you have experience with: * Children's picture books * Middle-grade or elementary readers * Developmental editing * Voice and character consistency * Faith-based or inspirational children's books (preferred but not required) Deliverables * Edited manuscript with tracked changes * Suggestions for strengthening the child's voice * Recommendations for condensing sections while preserving the story * Feedback regarding pacing and overall structure Please include examples of children's books you have edited or links to relevant work. Thank you. I look forward to finding someone who can help preserve the heart of this story while making it resonate with young readers.

Hello! My name is Sandra and I represent a children's book publishing company that publishes bilingual books for children. We have new books coming out in Japanese, and we need input from sensitivity readers/authenticity readers who understand the Japanese-American diaspora deeply to make sure our books are authentic and non-stereotypical. Since these are baby books, the content is very simple (picture vocabulary books). If you are interested in this project, please send us a proposal with the following information: 1) Please share your qualifications and experience that will make you a good fit as a sensitivity reader or authenticity reader for this project (ethnic background, academic degree, etc.) 2) Have you worked as a sensitivity reader or authenticity reader before? 3) Are you comfortable with signing an NDA before starting the project? Thank you!

SEEKING DEVELOPMENTAL EDITOR to assist me with a nearly completed first draft of a memoir that I hope to publish. DESCRIPTION OF MEMOIR The memoir is a coming of age story involving sexuality, Catholicism, and a love of the divine. It does involve some (not a lot, not too intense) sexual abuse and scandal. The audience is Catholics, ex-Catholics, and those intrigued by the mystique of Catholicism which may include non-Catholic Christians, atheists, Jews, and persons of other religions INTENTION OF THIS BOOK My intention in writing this is to help the Church, not hinder it, although some material may not be welcomed by some. YOU ARE A BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE FOR THIS ROLE IF - You are Catholic or ex-Catholic. This is essential. - You have a cultural experience of Catholicism, and perhaps the pain Catholics and ex-Catholics may feel. - You are enthusiastic about my content. - You have experience with helping authors develop their story ARC, as a first step in a multi-step editing process. - You may have experience with the subsequent steps of editing, too. For now, I'm only seeking help with the STRUCTURAL ARCS. I'm envisioning just 1-3 hours/week (flexible) to review and give me feedback, inspiration, and ideas. This is a small gig, a part-time job, that will be EXCITING to someone enthusiastic about my content. To boot, your own understanding of Catholicism may grow tremendously as you accompany me on my journey. If it turns out we have good rapport, this has potential to turn into a longer contract, for helping me with subsequent aspects of editing to get this manuscript fully polished, ready for the next steps with publishing.
