Job description

I am seeking a skilled copy editor to refine and polish a 20,000-word manuscript "Universe 25." It's a nonfiction book (~20,000 words) that uses John B.

Calhoun's famous mouse experiment as a metaphor for modern social collapse—covering topics like identity, purpose, family structure, and cultural rebirth with societal themes and meaning.

This project requires a keen eye for detail and the ability to enhance clarity without altering the author's voice.

As a disabled first time author on a fixed income, I am working with a limited budget, so I appreciate cost-effective solutions.

If you have experience with academic or non-fiction editing, I would love to hear from you. Your contributions will help bring this important work to fruition.

Contract duration of 1 to 3 months.

Mandatory skills:
Proofreading, Copy Editing, Content Writing
