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.
