Help me edit my book please! -- 2

Job ID: 36170530

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

I have edited the full manuscript a number of times for spelling, grammar, pace, and tone, and have had it beta-read by a dozen people. Still, I have been rejected by 33 publishers and agents, who consistently said that I am not famous enough for them to support my book.
In order to pivot from this obstacle, I have decided to record the manuscript and publish it as a serial podcast which is why I would like to hire an editor to help ensure it is the best it can be before moving forward.
The Elevator Pitch:
Everyone struggles to figure out who they are and what to do with their lives at some point, right? I took it personally. When I decided to embark on a modern-day vision quest, my friends and family thought I was crazy. Maybe I am.
I thought if I declared my intention to the universe and followed the signs or synchronicities, I was convinced a cosmic intervention would deliver me to a heightened sense of identity and purpose. It did.
"Living Penumbra" is a compelling first-hand account of my intentional journey to self-discovery and transformation told through a series of journal entries spanning over fifteen years.
