Structural Edit for Memoir
Budget / Salary$250–750
TypeFreelance project

Posted3 hours ago
I have completed a non-fiction manuscript that blends memoir with practical self-help insights, and I now need a thorough structural edit. I’m looking for feedback on the overall flow, chapter sequencing, pacing, and thematic consistency rather than line-by-line copy edits or proofreading at this stage.
What I’d like from you:
• An annotated version of the manuscript highlighting sections that should be moved, expanded, condensed, or removed.
• A brief editorial report (2-3 pages) explaining your reasoning and proposing a clear roadmap for revisions—especially where the personal narrative and the actionable guidance intersect.
• Confirmation that the revised outline maintains a compelling arc while delivering useful takeaways to readers.
If you regularly work on non-fiction memoir or self-help titles and can balance engaging storytelling with instructional clarity, I’d love to collaborate. Please let me know your approximate turnaround time and any comparable projects you’ve shepherded through a successful restructure.
