Proof read business/self-help manuscript
I'm looking for an experienced freelance editor and proofreader with subject matter expertise (SME) in financial markets to work on my business/self-help manuscript. This is an updated and upgraded edition of an existing published book, so the editor must be comfortable working within an established framework while helping sharpen and modernise the content. This is not a quick proofread—I need someone who understands financial markets deeply enough to flag inaccuracies, outdated information, and inconsistencies while also elevating the writing quality throughout. What I need: • Proofreading (grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency) • Line editing (clarity, flow, sentence structure) • Subject matter review — flagging any financial content that needs updating, clarification, or fact-checking • Feedback on tone and readability for a business/finance audience What I'm looking for in you: • Demonstrable expertise in financial markets (trading, investing, capital markets, or related fields) • Experience editing business, finance, or self-help non-fiction • A portfolio or samples of previous finance-related editing work • Strong attention to detail, clear communication, and ability to meet deadlines To apply, please share your background in financial markets, relevant editing samples, your estimated turnaround, and your rate. Quality is my priority, and I'm happy to discuss the budget with the right candidate. Looking forward to finding a true professional who brings both editorial and financial expertise to this project.

Manuscript Evaluation for Cosy Mystery (Plot Hole & Structure)
Project Description: I am looking for an experienced developmental editor who specializes in the cosy mystery genre to provide a comprehensive Manuscript Evaluation (editorial letter) for my completed rough draft. About the Book: Genre: Cosy Mystery Word Count: Approx. 100,000 words (I am aware this is on the longer side for the genre and am open to structural advice on where to tighten and trim). Current State: The work has gone through several drafts. The prose is relatively clean, but the overarching mystery mechanics need a professional eye. What I Am Looking For: I do not need line editing, copyediting, or proofreading at this stage. I am strictly looking for big-picture feedback delivered via a detailed step-by-step editorial letter. I need you to read the manuscript and evaluate: Plot Holes & Logic: Are there gaps in timelines, suspect alibis, or character motivations? Mystery Mechanics: Is the balance of clues and red herrings effective? Does the reveal feel earned but not overly predictable? Pacing & Structure: Where does the story lag? Where can the narrative be tightened to bring the word count closer to genre standards? Character Arcs: Does the amateur sleuth’s internal journey make sense alongside the murder investigation? Ideal Freelancer Requirements: Proven experience editing cosy mysteries (please mention past titles or authors you have worked with in your proposal). A firm understanding of cosy tropes and reader expectations. Honest, constructive, and actionable feedback. How to Apply: When submitting your proposal, please provide your flat-fee rate for a 100,000-word Manuscript Evaluation. Additionally, please include a brief sample of a past editorial letter or structural critique you have done (redacted for confidentiality is perfectly fine) so I can get a feel for your feedback style.

Formatting of grant submission paper for clinical study
I’m looking for a highly detail-oriented freelancer to help restructure and reformat a set of clinical and technical documents into a clear, professional, and readable format. This is not a proofreading or rewriting task, but rather a focused piece of work centred on layout, structure, and presentation. The main component is a clinical annex of approximately 50 pages, which is currently dense and text-heavy and needs to be transformed into a more digestible format using tables, structured sections, and a clear hierarchy, while preserving the original meaning and accuracy. In addition, there is a second document (Part B), roughly 15 pages, which is poorly formatted due to inefficient use of columns and spacing, and needs to be rebuilt into a cleaner, more space-efficient layout. As part of the same task, you will also be required to extract timeline and workstream information from the document and produce a clear, professional, and editable Gantt chart. The ideal candidate will have strong experience with advanced Microsoft Word formatting, including the use of styles, tables, and structured layouts, and will be comfortable working with complex or technical material. Experience with clinical, academic, or grant-related documents is a strong advantage. The key requirement is the ability to take dense information and present it in a way that is visually clear, logically structured, and easy to navigate, without altering the underlying content. This is a time-sensitive project with a strict deadline of this Friday, so please only apply if you are confident you can commit to that timeline. When applying, it would be helpful to see examples of similar work you have done, along with a brief outline of your approach to improving document clarity and structure. warm regards, Emmanuel Non relevant experience with scientific paper writing will be reported as spam.
