Book editor needed

Remote · USA Full-time New today

I need a book production specialist to take my chapter files and deliver final, upload-ready files for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. Status Content is locked. Media-law attorney has cleared the manuscript. Not looking for developmental editing. About the book

  • Title Behind the Veil Why Your Life Is F*cked
  • Genre Nonfiction — spirituality, alternative measurement, social commentary
  • Length ~28 chapters + 6 profile sections + appendix + front/back matter (estimated 90,000–120,000 words)
  • Voice Direct, blunt, conversational, irreverent. The bluntness is intentional and stays.
  • Comparable to David Hawkins, Bradley Nelson, Joe Dispenza, David Icke Scope of work 1. Assembly — Combine ~35 separate .docx files into one master manuscript using my version map. Front matter, 26 chapters, 6 profile sections, appendix, back matter. 2. Copyediting — Full pass for grammar, syntax, punctuation, clarity, word choice. Track Changes throughout. Cut weak words. Fix awkward phrasing. Don’t smooth out the voice. 3. Continuity & consistency — The book contains hundreds of measurements that recur across chapters. Catch contradictions. Catch repetition. Catch inconsistent name spellings. 4. Pacing review — Flag chapters that drag, transitions that fall flat. I make the calls. 5. Final interior typesetting — Take the edited master and produce the final print-ready interior PDFs. Two separate PDF files required
  • KDP paperback PDF — RGB color, 6×9 trim, with bleed, embedded fonts
  • IngramSpark paperback PDF — CMYK color, PDF/X-1a2001 compliance, 6×9 trim, embedded fonts (IngramSpark rejects RGB and non-X-1a files) 6. Ebook export — Reflowable EPUB file for Kindle upload, with working table of contents and proper chapter breaks. Final deliverables 1. KDP paperback PDF (RGB, print-ready) 2. IngramSpark paperback PDF (CMYK, PDF/X-1a, print-ready) 3. EPUB file for Kindle 4. Source files (InDesign or Vellum project files) so I can produce a hardcover version later 5. Editorial memo summarizing your work and any flagged decisions The voice is intentional and stays. Don’t smooth out the bluntness. If a sentence is unconventional but the meaning is clear, leave it. When in doubt, flag rather than rewrite. Required experience
  • Book editing experience (minimum 5 years, nonfiction preferred)
  • Adobe InDesign or Vellum proficiency for final print-ready output (this is critical — most editors don’t do this; please don’t apply if you’re only an editor)
  • Experience preparing files specifically for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark (the spec differences matter)
  • Comfort with controversial content — the book names public figures and makes provocative claims In your proposal, please include
  • Examples of nonfiction books you’ve taken from manuscript to final published files
  • Confirmation you do BOTH editing and final InDesign/Vellum typesetting (or how you handle if you don’t)
  • Estimated turnaround
  • Any questions about scope Thanks Apply tot his job Apply To this Job Apply To This Job
