Copy Editor / Ghostwriter / Publishing Pro Needed for Finalizing Narrative Nonfiction Book
I'm looking for a seasoned copy editor, ghostwriter, and publishing professional to help take my narrative nonfiction manuscript — American Titans — across the finish line and make it KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) print-ready.
The book is approximately 200,000 words and maybe 80% complete, with the remaining part requiring professional refinement, editing, and polish to align with bestseller-quality standards in the genres of narrative nonfiction, biography, and popular history.
About the Book:
American Titans (code name for now) is a sweeping, cinematic work profiling 80+ visionaries who shaped America’s rise — from founding fathers to modern tech rebels. Think Sapiens meets Titan, with the narrative punch of a TED Talk and the rigor of Harvard Business Review.
Each chapter is designed to read like a standalone story, blending:
Underdog arcs, world-changing ideas, and reinventions
Emotional, cinematic storytelling grounded in facts
Themes of resilience, innovation, identity, and global impact
What I Need:
I'm seeking someone who can act as a final-mile partner — not just fixing typos, but elevating the manuscript's structure, clarity, and emotional impact while preparing it for KDP print and ebook formats.
Your responsibilities may include:
✅ Deep copy editing (tone, flow, clarity, grammar, consistency)
✅ Structural suggestions (story arc, transitions, pacing, redundancies)
✅ Ghostwriting enhancements or polishing sections for stronger narrative cohesion
✅ Preparing final layout for KDP Print + Ebook
✅ Spotting and correcting any formatting, citation, or style inconsistencies
✅ Ensuring language appeals to a global, general audience (age 15+)
Ideal Candidate:
Native English speaker
Experienced with nonfiction or biography (please link to previous work)
Familiar with narrative nonfiction techniques — blending story with insight
Hands-on experience preparing manuscripts for KDP publishing (print + ebook)
Strong eye for both macro storytelling and micro language polishing
Passion for history, leadership, or innovation themes is a bonus!
Deliverables:
Professionally edited manuscript (KDP-ready)
Style-consistent formatting for print + ebook
(Optional) Feedback document on structure or chapter-level notes
To Apply, Please Include:
Short intro about your relevant experience
Links to previous nonfiction/history/biography editing or ghostwriting work
Confirmation of your experience with KDP publishing
Estimated timeline and availability
This is a labor of love 2+ years in the making, and I’m looking for someone who can bring both skill and care to the final stretch. If you’re a storyteller at heart with an editor’s eye, let’s make something impactful together.
