Editor (Published June 11)
Who I am
I am Baboo Kureemun, founder of Perceptix, an AI capability and governance consultancy based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. I have spent thirty years in technology transformation across Africa, Asia, and North America. I am a published author — my first book, Your Customers’ Perception of Quality, was published by CRC Press / Taylor & Francis Group.
The project
I am seeking a professional copy editor for my second book, Artificial Confidence: What AI Reveals About How We Pretend, Panic, Lead, and Decide.
The manuscript is complete. It comprises twelve chapters plus full front matter and back matter — approximately 35,000 words in total. The book is business non-fiction, written for smart non-technical professionals who must make decisions about AI before they feel fully ready. It is not a technical book. It is a leadership and organisational behaviour book that uses AI as its occasion.
The manuscript has been through multiple structural passes. I am not seeking developmental editing or structural feedback. The architecture, argument, voice, and frameworks are settled. I need copy editing: consistency, grammar, punctuation, style, and British/Canadian spelling conventions throughout (organisation, judgment, per cent).
What makes this manuscript specific
The book is built around three proprietary frameworks with precise terminology that must be applied consistently:
— Artificial Confidence (the book’s central diagnosis) — The Clarity Test (Outcome, Data, People, Workflow — always in that order) — The Perceptix Intelligence Navigation System (Compass, Atlas, Engine — never used interchangeably)
I will provide a one-page style sheet with all proprietary terms, spelling conventions, and field story label standards before work begins.
What I am looking for in an editor
Experience in business non-fiction is essential. Experience in technology, AI, or leadership titles is preferred. Familiarity with British/Canadian spelling conventions is required. I would like to see a relevant sample of your published work before engaging, and I will ask for a sample edit of two to three pages before confirming the full project.
I require a signed confidentiality agreement before sharing the manuscript.
Budget
I am open to discussing rates based on your experience and the scope of the work.
Timeline
The manuscript is ready to share immediately. I am flexible on turnaround — four to six weeks is ideal, but I will prioritise finding the right editor over meeting a fixed deadline.
Note on AI usage
This manuscript was developed with AI assistance during the drafting and structural editing process. All content reflects the author’s original ideas, frameworks, experience, and voice. The AI was used as a drafting and editorial tool, not as a content source. The frameworks, field stories, arguments, and positioning are entirely the author’s own. I am disclosing this in the spirit of the book’s own argument — which is about honest engagement over performed certainty.
How to apply: Send your resume and rates to baboo.kureemun@gmail.com.
Application deadline: July 15, 2026.
