I have a rough, start-to-finish manuscript written for my adult children—an intimate reflection on our family values and traditions. The voice is emotional and heartfelt by design, but the structure is still loose. I need a content editor who can shape the narrative so each chapter flows naturally into the next, strengthen transitions, highlight areas that feel repetitive or unclear, and suggest ways to keep the emotion without slipping into sentimentality. Light proofreading is welcome whenever it serves readability, yet the primary goal is to refine structure and pacing, not strip the story of its warmth. You will read the full draft, leave in-text comments, and prepare a concise editorial letter that maps out your high-level recommendations for reordering sections, tightening scenes, and reinforcing the theme of family tradition. Deliverables • Marked-up manuscript (Track Changes or equivalent) • Editorial roadmap summarising key structural, tonal, and flow improvements When you’re done, I should have clear, actionable guidance that lets me revise confidently while preserving my authentic voice and the heartfelt message I want my children to hear.
