Editor & Co-Writer Needed – Scientific Book (80,000 words) NO AI

About the Project
I am seeking an experienced editor and co-writer for a scientific book to be submitted to MIT Press on the safe implementation of AI in healthcare. The book is grounded in original primary research — 59 in-depth interviews — and is expected to reach approximately 80,000 words. I am currently in the drafting phase and anticipate completing the draft within 4 months.
This is a serious academic publishing project. I am not looking for blog writers, content marketers, or fiction editors.
Your Role
The editor/co-writer will be responsible for three core tasks:
1. Interview-to-prose conversion – Transform structured interview content into coherent, academically rigorous narrative prose
2. Literature integration – Incorporate key findings from relevant scientific studies (provided by the author) into the manuscript in a manner consistent with academic publishing standards
3. Editorial review – Review and strengthen grammar, clarity, and the integrity of the core argument throughout

What I Need From You
To be considered, please respond with ALL of the following:
• Relevant experience – Specific examples of academic books drafted or co-written, and/or peer-reviewed journal articles authored or edited (title, publisher/journal, year)
• Sample work – A short writing sample (500–1,000 words) from a scientific or academic publication you contributed to
• Example of your editing – A brief before/after editing example demonstrating how you improve academic prose
• Quote per word count – Your rate per 1,000 words
• Total project cost – Your all-in quote for the full 80,000-word manuscript
Applications without all five elements above will not receive a response.
