French copy editor for French Language non-fiction book

I have already translated a book from English into French, but I am aware that the text needs polishing to make the book read like it's been written by a native French writer. So I am looking for a copy editor with the skills to do that. As the book is self-published, it would be helpful if the copy editor also knows how to format books for Amazon publication, but that is not necessary. The book is about the health benefits of wine. Its English version is here: https://rb.gy/xneyyf. It is about 44,000 words long.

Design a Premium Family Travel Photo Book

I'm looking for an experienced photo book designer to create a single, premium coffee table-style photo book from a family trip to the USA (two separate two-week trips, roughly 1,000 photos total). **What I need:** 1. Photo curation — select the best 150-200 shots from ~1,000 photos. Remove duplicates, blurry shots, and anything that doesn't add to the story. Prioritise candid family moments, key landmarks, and a natural narrative flow across both trips. 2. Book design — lay out the curated photos into a cohesive, premium coffee table book. The design should feel editorial and story-driven, not just a grid of collages. 3. Final deliverable — print-ready file (PDF or compatible format) suitable for printing via a premium provider **What I'll provide:** - Access to a Google Drive folder containing all ~1,000 photos, organised by date - Brief notes on key moments and must-include shots once we're in touch **What I'm looking for in a freelancer:** - A strong portfolio of travel or family photo books (please share examples) - Experience with premium print layouts (lay-flat, hardcover coffee table format) - Good eye for narrative — this should tell a story, not just display photos - Clear communication and willingness to incorporate feedback before the final file is produced **Budget:** Open to proposals - Please quote your rate and estimated turnaround. **Timeline:** Looking to get started within the next 1-2 weeks. Please start your proposal with 'This sounds like a cool project' to show that you've read the brief. We take several holidays per year, so if we are happy with the quality of the work, we would likely do many more in future!

Thumbnail (recurring work)

Hello! I need someone with a creative mind and quick hands to assist me with thumbnail work for my YouTube videos. There are no real guidelines on what eat thumbnail will look like. However, you do have a myriad of concept art to work with. You will also have the video itself, which is an audiodrama series. An audiodrama is essentially a movie without the visuals. I have a narrator, but there are sound effects to create a more personalized experience. I don't know if this will work, I really do need a person who can take an idea and effectively run with it. AI is not allowed, and you will not be rushed, in fact there are already 10 videos out and in need of good thumbnails. I want the thumbnails themselves to illustrate what is going on in the video. You can choose the start, the end, or highlight a single moment, whatever is most eye-catching. There are also 2 logos available, one much more eye catching than the other, so you won't need to worry about that. 1+1= If you're felling up to it, check out this link to the first video and tell me, or show me if that suits you, what you would do with it, there is concept art for this part of the book, but I left it out because I was still figuring out how to do videos. When the thumbnail is done, I'll be revisiting this and other videos. https://youtu.be/jMYor8835U4?si=Bd09_Pbn6NeW2-RB We can negotiate a price.

Arrange huge text amount in vector shapes; Illustrator& Indesign

Hello! I am looking for a careful and detail-oriented Illustrator & Indesign artworker to help me edit and prepare text / typography based artworks for high-quality giclée printing. The task is basically editing/creating threaded text boxes in vector-based map outlines, and placing a huge amount of text inside. There are 13 map shapes. There are very specific criteria for how I need this done, hence the detailed brief. I also need you to create 4 swatches of the text so I can test print. Please confirm you have read the attached pdf brief in full, and are happy you can deliver against the detailed specification / criteria - please do not apply if you're not 100% sure you can deliver against the detail. The files are vector map outlines with columns of text fill. They are then filled completely with very small pt text (approx 170,000 words). Vector maps with columns are already created (except 2). But some need adjusting and columns recreating. Two files need creating from the vector map outlines which are supplied. Preserving the fine detailing of the map outlines is absolutely essential. They must not be smoothed out. Because there is so much text, Adobe Illustrator will run very slowly. Therefore, we must use both Illustrator and InDesign. You will create the shapes in Illustrator, standardise the source files (there are three artboard sizes), and then move them to InDesign for the text formatting. I will edit the text in Indesign. Please read the steps below and te pdf brief carefully. It's really important that the details of this brief are understood and followed so we don’t have rework. NOTE: we’ll get the First map set up and run the print test so we can choose the font and paper type. Only then will we proceed to fix the other maps. 1) Create the art-boards in illustrator and create or edit the map outlines and the text columns 2) Create an Indesign template and place the maps in, and apply exact settings as specified. 3) Create the 'colour test swatches' so I can send to print. Then I will adjust text fitting in Indesign and return the files to you 4) Make final layout adjustments 5) Prepare files for high quality print export Timings: First map - 2 days Test strip swatches 1 day Other Maps - 4 days Print export preparation - 1 day These timings are for you, and don't include the time for me to edit the text which will be additional. I have time during the easter weekend so

Human and liver-focused medical vector Illustrations

We are looking for an illustrator to create a suite of liver-focused medical vector illustrations for use in health education materials. This will include simple, front-facing human characters (adult man and woman, plus a boy and girl, with an optional toddler), shown in a neutral pose with arms positioned to allow clear visibility of the torso. These characters should be designed so that internal organs—particularly the liver—can be overlaid, and colours (including skin tone) should be easy to edit. In addition, the project includes a clear, simplified illustration of the liver and surrounding anatomy (e.g. gallbladder, bile ducts, key blood vessels, and nearby organs), as well as a set of liver illustrations showing disease progression and conditions such as healthy liver, fatty liver (MASLD), MASH with staged fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and liver cancer. All artwork must be in a clean, consistent, medically accurate vector style and supplied as fully layered Adobe Illustrator files to allow flexible editing and reuse.
