Looking for an editor for a book on self building

Completed Posted 5 years ago Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

I have produced a 260 page 'how to' guide on self-building.

There is some building jargon in the book but it's chiefly aimed at novice self-builders who will want to understand the process of building their own house in layman's terms.

There are also many photographs and diagrams in the book

The draft would benefit from an experienced editor reviewing it and identifying opportunities to make improvements, either writing style or catching any grammar or spelling issues.

Ideally suited to an editor that has experience of technical subjects being written in easy to understand and digestible language.
