Polish & Humanize Med Book
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
My draft on Medical Affairs is written but still reads like a technical dossier. What I need from you is a full-scale polish that accomplishes three things at once: sharpen the science, embed authoritative citations, and give the text a warmer, more relatable voice.
The job
• Edit line-by-line for clarity, grammar, and logical flow while preserving scientific accuracy.
• Identify statements that require citation and insert references drawn from reputable journals, standard textbooks, or trusted online databases—then compile a clean reference list in either Vancouver or APA style (your call as long as you keep it consistent).
• Replace or pare down dense jargon, weave in clear explanations, and add light narrative touches or illustrative anecdotes so a broader health-literate audience can connect with the material.
Scope & format
The manuscript is approximately 45,000 words in Word. Track Changes must remain on for every edit so I can review your decisions. Please comment whenever you reorganize sections or suggest additional content.
Acceptance criteria
1. Returned file with all edits visible plus a “clean” version.
2. Complete, properly formatted reference list that matches in-text citations.
3. Tone assessment memo (1–2 pages) summarizing how you humanized each chapter.
4. Final text free of spelling, grammar, and factual errors.
If this blend of medical rigor and storytelling flair is in your wheelhouse, I’m eager to see how you can transform the manuscript into something clinicians respect and everyday readers enjoy.
