Sports Book Editing & Polish
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m close to the finish line with a practical sports guide written primarily for young athletes, though parents and coaches will benefit as well. What I need now is a sharp editorial eye to transform this working draft into a publication-ready manuscript.
The draft already covers all core concepts and anecdotes; your role is to refine what’s on the page, not rewrite it from scratch. Specifically, I’m asking you to:
• Correct every grammar or spelling slip without losing my conversational tone.
• Smooth the flow between sections and chapters so ideas build naturally.
• Check spacing, image placement, and caption alignment so the layout reads cleanly in Word and translates smoothly to print or e-book formats.
Please edit in Microsoft Word using Track Changes, leaving clear comments when you restructure paragraphs or suggest cuts. Final deliverables should include a marked-up file and a clean, fully formatted version I can forward straight to the designer.
If you’ve polished athlete-focused or youth-oriented titles before, mention it, along with your estimated turnaround. I’m looking forward to handing this project to an editor who can give every sentence the same energy I try to instill in the athletes who will read it.
