Wellness-Focused Manuscript Editor Needed
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m seeking a skilled editor to refine my nonfiction wellness manuscript, 10-Minute Vagus Nerve Reset: Simple Daily Exercises to Calm Anxiety and Strengthen the Mind-Body Connection. The book is written for a general audience and blends science-backed techniques with accessible, calming practices focused on vagus nerve stimulation. Just to be transparent, I do not have a large budget
The manuscript is approximately 34,000 words and 9 chapters. It Includes a mix of educational content, daily breathing exercises, and personal insight. I also wouldn’t mind if things were cut out to get it under 30,000 words. I’m looking for an editor who can enhance clarity, flow. While maintaining a compassionate tone, without making the language overly technical. I would also need formatting done
This is a contest to find the right editorial partner—please submit your best sample edits or suggestions on the provided excerpt. I’ll award the project based on editing skill, tone alignment, and attention to detail.

Have you ever felt like your mind and body were speaking two different languages? That’s how I felt for years—tense, overwhelmed, and unable to relax, even when nothing seemed wrong. It wasn’t until I discovered the power of the vagus nerve that things began to change.
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body and one of the main components of your parasympathetic nervous system—your “rest and digest” mode. It connects your brain to your heart, lungs, and digestive tract, influencing how you breathe, how your body responds to stress, and how safe you feel in the world.
When your vagus nerve isn’t functioning well, everything can feel harder: anxiety increases, digestion slows, your heart races, and your body struggles to return to calm. But when we train the vagus nerve—through breathwork, gentle movement, and sensory techniques—we begin to shift out of survival mode and into a space of calm, clarity, and connection.
This book is your invitation to practice short, science-backed techniques that take just 10 minutes a day. You don’t need expensive tools or hours of free time—just a willingness to slow down, reconnect with your body, and reset your nervous system.
