min $50 USD / hour

I am an associate/project manager for a Venture Capitalist. He has the ambition to bring a story from his life of wrongdoing by the criminal justice system to light. I have a background in writing content but mostly for blogs, copy, etc. I am trying to instill in him a need for an editor to join our team with the expertise/experience to fill my gaps. Your role would be working with me to make this book something special which I know it can be. The project is very much at its genesis currently. I would expect initial hours to be slight as I would just need some coaching/expertise on how to best organize a book project. As content is delivered hours would increase of course. A signed NDA would be required.

Hi, this sounds like a really exciting and worthwhile project which is why I am placing a bid. My hourly rate is negotiable, but obviously you are keen to obtain good quality input. I think my skills are as follows: I see straight to points that need development or feed into an overarching argument/momentum. I have an engaging writing style and can mentor that in others. I have self-published, formatted/designed over twenty books with my own ISBNs but also liaised with publishing houses on behalf of authors. I love communicating, I'm passionate about justice, I'm hardworking and conscientious. Please see my profile page for more background.

Hi, I'd like to help you with this book. Are you planning to write it as a memoir? A creative non-fiction? Any legal concerns with writing "the truth"? Do you have an outline? Have you discussed what will be the "theme" that threads through the story? I'm a university-educated native English speaker. I have lots of experience - writing, editing, teaching creative writing & doing manuscript consultations. Initially, I think I'd work as a book coach. With my background in teaching writing, I can help get you started in the right direction. Once a first draft is done, we can talk about developing it further into better and better drafts. But, a lot of interviewing the subject will have to go on before all that. Is that what you're doing? Are you conducting research? I work for a flat rate. If I was working by the hour, I would charge less than $50. Not sure, at this point, how to charge you a flat fee. Let's talk. Please see my reviews and portfolio on my profile page and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hi there! I have submitted a bid on your other listing too. This sounds like a reverse-Shantaram expose. The pace and style would work well. There might even be a movie in there if the content is visceral enough. I offer my services to you on this project. It is right in my field of expertise. I am a meticulous editor, having learned my trade in the financial reporting industry, managing weekly business content. Our educated executive audience required a ruthless adherence to editing standards. In addition, my proofreading skills will add subtle nuances of tone and style which often become invisible to the originator / writer. My proofreading regime means that your content will be scrutinised up to five times before I release it. Please message me to discuss your project. Dave A. BA, MBA. United Kingdom.

Not only am I the child of two lawyers, but I'm an absolute grammar and spelling nazi. Mistakes in either are glaringly obvious to me and not fixing them really bothers me, so editing is my jam. As far as book layouts and organization go, I also have experience in organizing some of my own print projects in the past.
