Are you a substantive/developmental/structural editor with experience in book-length (30k - 80k+) works?

At NextGen Story: Custom Publishing, we help people capture their life stories and family histories for generations to come. The stories are just fascinating - of course, that is the beauty of this work - and range in topic and style.

What we're looking for
- thoughtful, empathetic, insightful structural editing
- suggestions in the text itself to modify structure
- comments throughout on what's missing, what is unclear, where more could be added
- overall thoughts on flow, voice, structure, and sequence
- openness to considering 'manuscript reviews'

If you have
- experience editing book-length works (minimum 30K)
- very strong grasp of English language and writing
- strong motivation and interest in life story/family history

Then perhaps you could be our next structural editor. Look forward to hearing from you.
