Non-Fiction Manuscript Structural Edit
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
My full-length nonfiction manuscript has been drafted with AI assistance and now needs a sharp editorial eye. The single most important task is to make sure the structure works—specifically that each idea leads naturally to the next and the overall argument unfolds in a clear, logical progression.
Here is what I need from you:
• A thorough, section-by-section edit focused on flow. Wherever the logic stalls, loops, or jumps, pinpoint the problem and show me how to fix it.
• Along the way, flag any factual statements that seem unsupported or potentially inaccurate so I can verify sources.
• Clean up obvious grammar, punctuation, and usage slips as you go, using track changes.
Deliverables
1. The annotated manuscript with in-line comments and corrections.
2. A concise editorial memo summarizing the structural strengths and weaknesses, with concrete recommendations for tightening the progression of ideas.
3. A separate fact-check list calling out any claims that need confirmation.
If you have deep experience in nonfiction editing—especially shaping AI-generated drafts into polished, human-ready books—I’m eager to hear how you’d approach this project and your estimated turnaround time.
