Copy Editor (Published August 11)
Memoir (Approx. 52,000 Words)
I am seeking an experienced copy editor for a completed memoir of approximately 52,000 words.
The “Mature” Man is a memoir about heartbreak, childhood trauma, attachment, and breaking the lifelong patterns that keep us stuck. Written during sixty days of no contact after an unexpected breakup, it follows one man’s journey from anxious attachment and codependency to self-awareness, accountability, and earned secure attachment.
The manuscript has already undergone developmental editing and line editing and is currently awaiting legal review. I am now looking for a copy editor to complete the final copy edit before proofreading.
Because voice is central to this manuscript, I’m looking for an editor with experience preserving an author’s conversational style while strengthening the writing through grammar, punctuation, clarity, consistency, continuity, and readability. The manuscript is intentionally conversational and relies on the narrator’s unique voice. I’m looking for someone who can strengthen the writing without losing that voice.
Please include the following with your application:
- A brief overview of your memoir editing experience.
- A description of your editing approach.
- Your availability and estimated turnaround time.
- Your fee structure.
- Whether you would be willing to complete a paid sample edit (1,000–1,500 words).
How to apply: Email dolginadamc@gmail.com with your resume and rates.
Application deadline: September 12, 2026.
