Refine Non-Fiction Manuscript for US Readers

Job ID: 40528544

Budget: $350 – $500 USD

Stylistic Refinement of Non-Fiction Manuscript for American Readers Description: I have a non-fiction manuscript titled Exposed, approximately 85 pages, written in American English but originally translated from Spanish. My goal is for the final version to read as though it were natively written in fluent, natural American English for a general readership, with no hint of it being a translation. Here’s what I expect from you: • Transform overly literal or mechanical passages into smooth, idiomatic American English while keeping my authorial voice and Dominican cultural nuances intact. • Ensure each chapter flows naturally and reads clearly, refining sentence structure for both readability and coherence. • Make the text engaging while polishing grammar and eliminating inconsistencies or redundant phrasing. • Be communicative and responsive to messages promptly throughout the project. • A paid test will be required before proceeding with the full manuscript refinement. Deliverables: 1. A clean final version that reads effortlessly to an American audience. 2. A tracked-changes file to show edits made throughout. If you have experience adapting texts or manuscripts written by non-native English speakers so they seamlessly align with U.S. cultural expectations while preserving the original intent and tone, I’d love to work with you! Bonus points if you are bilingual in American English/Spanish and have worked on non-fiction books targeting a general audience
