Substantive Non-Fiction Manuscript Edit
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I’m ready to take my non-fiction manuscript through a full substantive edit and I’m looking for an editor who can dig into structure, flow, clarity, and overall logic—not just surface-level corrections. You’ll have freedom to reorganize sections, flag gaps in reasoning, suggest additions or cuts, and refine the tone so the argument lands cleanly for a general audience.
What I’ll provide
• The current draft in Word (with basic copyedits already applied).
• Any background notes you need on purpose, target readers, or comparable titles.
What I need back
• A tracked-changes version of the manuscript with all substantive suggestions.
• A brief editorial memo summarizing big-picture fixes, recurring issues, and next-step recommendations.
I’m most interested in your experience performing this level of editing on non-fiction projects—especially works that blend narrative with research or how-to elements—so please highlight that in your bid. If the fit is right, I’m ready to start as soon as we agree on a schedule.
