About the job

I have roughly 10,000 words of a semi-memoir that explores how my parents shaped my life. What’s on the page right now is heartfelt but repetitive and missing the structure a finished, short book deserves. I’m looking for a developmental and structural edit that will: • Reshape the existing draft into a clear narrative arc, keeping the focus on the influence my parents had on me. • Flag redundancies, gaps, or moments that need deeper reflection so the story reads as honest and emotional rather than scattered. • Provide guidance on additional material or transitions needed to bring the manuscript to a concise yet complete book length. Please return an annotated manuscript with tracked changes and margin notes, plus a brief summary explaining the big-picture changes you recommend. If you have experience shaping personal or family narratives, that will be a strong plus.
