I’d love your help turning a simple educational idea into a charming picture-book manuscript for preschoolers aged 3 – 5. The story should be light, playful and built around one clear lesson that children can grasp through repetition, rhythm and engaging characters. I’m aiming for a read-aloud length of about 500–700 words, spread so future illustrations have plenty of breathing room. Once we connect I’ll share the core theme and a couple of character thoughts, but I’m open to your creative spin on setting, plot twists and dialogue. Please keep language age-appropriate, with short sentences and a warm, encouraging tone. Deliverables • One-page outline showing key page breaks • Full manuscript in an editable file (Word or Google Doc) &bull...

I’m the author of a book called Men in Repair (around 141 pages), which is already published on Amazon. However, I haven’t done any proper marketing yet because I strongly feel the book needs a professional “lift” before taking it to a global level. I’m not looking for basic proofreading — I’m looking for someone who can step in as a true “book doctor.” The book is built around a powerful concept: An engineering-inspired framework for men dealing with pressure, setbacks, and rebuilding themselves — using structured “gears” like mindset, discipline, faith, and purpose. It’s direct, raw, and practical — not typical self-help. What I need: Deep editing (structure, flow, clarity, tone) Strengthening the im...

I have an ebook draft in Microsoft Word that needs a clean, publication-ready layout. I’m looking for someone who can apply consistent styles to all headings and subheadings, align and label every table and figure properly, and set up running page numbers with polished headers and footers throughout the file. The final document should look just as good on screen as it does when exported to PDF for print or Kindle conversion. Please keep my existing text intact while fixing any spacing inconsistencies, orphan lines, or misaligned graphics that you spot along the way. Deliverables • Updated, well-structured Word (.docx) file • Print-ready PDF that mirrors the Word version • A short note outlining any style changes or tips for future edits I’d love to r...

My science-fiction manuscript is finished, except for Contents page, and now I need it packaged professionally for Amazon KDP. I’m looking for someone who can: • Format the interior so the paperback and Kindle versions flow cleanly—proper margins, paragraph styles, page numbers, headers, and active TOC links. • Design a striking, illustrative cover that captures a futuristic vibe. I need a cohesive front, back, and spine that meet KDP’s bleed and trim guidelines as well as their exact pixel and PDF specs. • Deliver press-ready PDFs for paperback plus a high-resolution JPEG for the ebook thumbnail, along with the editable source files. If you’ve handled KDP layouts before and enjoy creating imaginative sci-fi artwork, this should be straightforwa...

I’m ready to turn a story idea that’s been living in my head into a complete, full-length novel and I need a skilled ghostwriter to make that happen. You’ll take my loose notes, thematic goals, and character sketches (I’ll share these once we begin) and craft a manuscript that flows from a tight outline through to a polished final draft of roughly 70–90k words—open to your guidance on exact length. Here’s how I picture the collaboration: we first agree on an outline, produce an opening sample of about 10k words so we can lock in tone and pacing, move to a halfway draft for structural tweaks, and finish with the full manuscript ready for professional editing. Clear, scheduled milestones keep both of us on track and give space for feedback at each s...

I have a completed drama screenplay that runs about 90–110 pages. Now I need it laid out in proper industry format so it’s ready to circulate to indie and boutique studios as well as the streaming platforms I’m targeting. The draft already contains all the dialogue and action, but it still sits in a rough Word document. Your task is to translate it into true screenplay form—Courier 12-pt, one-inch margins, consistent slug lines, accurate scene numbers if needed, and clean page breaks. Dialogue should follow the standard placement, with parentheticals, extensions and continued marks handled correctly; no unusual voiceover or off-screen conventions are required beyond the usual (but please tag any flashbacks clearly, as the story moves back in time several times). I...

We are seeking a highly skilled Fiction Literary Editor to refine and polish a translated novel manuscript for the English-speaking market. This role goes beyond standard proofreading; we need a creative partner who can elevate the prose, ensure stylistic consistency, and adapt the literary characteristics of the work to resonate deeply with English-speaking readers and Western literary culture. Key Responsibilities: Stylistic Polishing: Enhance the rhythm, flow, and elegance of the prose while maintaining the author’s unique voice. Cultural Adaptation: Refine nuances, idioms, and narrative structures to ensure they are impactful and intuitive for an English-reading audience.

I’ve completed a first draft of my self-help manuscript in Microsoft Word and now need it professionally elevated and made market-ready. It has approximately 11,000 words in total. (10 Chapters) The content is solid, but the language still feels rough; I want it rewritten into a clear, conversational, friendly tone that keeps my voice while sounding polished and engaging to readers. Once the text is refined, I’ll also need striking front and back covers that visually capture the upbeat, motivational spirit of the book. Think clean typography, modern colour choices, and imagery that fits the self-improvement theme. Source files for the cover art should be provided (Photoshop or Illustrator) alongside the print-ready versions. After editing and design come layout and conversion...

I need several manuscripts polished so they read and behave like professionally published books inside Microsoft Word. Your main focus will be advanced document formatting: reorganising all chapters into a clean, logical hierarchy and building a reliable index that updates automatically whenever pagination changes. The files already contain the text; what they lack is consistent use of styles, accurate page-numbering, and the navigational features readers expect. Every chapter should appear correctly in Word’s Navigation Pane and each index entry must hyperlink back to the proper spot. Headers, footers, widows & orphans, and overall typography should feel uniform throughout the manuscript. Deliverables • One fully formatted .docx for each book, with Heading styles appl...

I am currently seeking support in finalizing and enhancing a children’s book titled The Adventures of Sizzle the Mindful Dog, which is part of a broader mindfulness-based initiative for children and families.

The work I am looking to have completed includes: Professional formatting and layout design for Amazon KDP (interior and cover) Visual refinement of illustrations (ensuring clarity and print quality) Cohesive branding and design alignment across the book Optional support with preparing the book for market (description, keywords, etc.) This project has been partially developed with the support of AI tools for drafting and structuring...

I have a self-help manuscript ready and now need it transformed into a print-ready paperback on Lulu.com. The content is 100 % written; what I’m missing is the technical know-how to make Lulu accept the files without revision loops. Here is what I expect: • Interior layout: format the non-fiction text to Lulu’s recommended trim size, add front-matter and page numbers, and export a press-quality PDF that passes Lulu’s pre-flight check. • Cover creation: build a full-wrap PDF (front, spine, back) that meets Lulu’s spine width calculator and color profile requirements. I’ll supply the cover concept and images; you handle sizing, bleed and barcode placement. • Upload walk-through: once files are approved, guide me through setting up the listin...
