Proofreading + Line Editing- Men’s Non-Fiction Book – UK English
Proofreading + Line Editing for Men’s Non-Fiction Book – UK English Word count: ~58,200 Budget: TBC Native UK English speaker only I’m looking for a professional line editor and proofreader for a non-fiction book aimed at men navigating their partner’s menopause. It blends real interview quotes with psychological tools (especially ACT) and metaphor-rich storytelling. Tone: grounded, emotionally intelligent, direct—but never crude or sentimental. The voice must feel real to men aged 35–65 who are put off by “therapy speak.” There’s strong language at times, honest reflections on sex, intimacy, emotional overwhelm, and male vulnerability. The tone is masculine, raw, but respectful. I need: Line editing for flow, clarity, and tone—without over-sanitising Proofreading for UK spelling, grammar, punctuation Respect for quoted material from interviews (unpolished but authentic) A sensitive approach to references around sex, anger, and relationship breakdowns Suggestions for minor repetition or inconsistencies (but not structural rewriting) Ideal if you’ve worked in men’s mental health, psychology, or memoir—but tone sensitivity is most important. If you're confident editing gritty, human, emotionally complex content for men who value honesty over polish, I’d love to hear from you. Timeline: Within 2–4 weeks of starting. To ensure this brief has been read correctly, please respond with the following in your reply: What is the current weather like where you are?

Hello, I’m looking for a professional academic editor to help revise a scientific manuscript that will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. The paper discusses the empowerment of women with disabilities in education and employment—a topic I believe you’ll find engaging. Here are the details of the task: The manuscript is around 1700 words. I would like it to be shortened to approximately 1500 words or slightly less, but without removing any references or meaningful content. The goal is to improve clarity, sentence structure, and the academic flow of ideas. Around 500 words are marked in red, indicating parts that require full rewriting to avoid AI-related or plagiarism detection issues. These are the priority for revision. All work must be done manually and professionally, with Track Changes enabled throughout the document. AI-assisted editing is not allowed, and the final version will be screened through our institution’s verification system. If this phase is completed successfully, we will gladly continue with you for the next sections of the paper, including linguistic editing of data analysis, results, and the discussion section. Looking forward to your interest and samples of previous academic editing work, if available. Warm regards,
