Polish 25-Page Book Press Kit
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a complete, 20–25-page press kit in American English for my new investigative book, “EXPOSED: How Drug Money Infiltrated Congress.” Before I start pitching it. I need an editorial pass that will make every line publication-ready.
What I expect you to tackle
• Proofread and correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling throughout.
• Refine the overall style and tone so it reads as a coherent, formal, and highly professional package while still carrying the urgency of the story.
• Align language and formatting with U.S. journalistic standards (AP Style is my baseline).
The kit’s contents
Author Biography
Book Synopsis
Executive Summary
Investigative Brief
Timeline of Events
Media Contact Information
Deliverables
1. Press-ready master document (Word) with all corrections accepted.
2. A tracked-changes version so I can review every edit.
3. A brief style summary highlighting any larger structural or tonal shifts you made to ensure consistency across the kit.
Acceptance criteria
• No grammar or punctuation errors remain.
• Language adheres to AP Style and maintains a formal, professional voice.
• Facts, names, and dates remain intact and unaltered.
• Layout and headings stay consistent so the final file is ready for immediate distribution.
If you have experience editing long-form press materials destined for top-tier U.S. media, I’d love to work with you.
