Developmental editing of memoir/personal development book

I'm looking for a developmental editor/writing coach to give me guidance on structure and style in producing an international version of my story. Also, i think some (conversational) sparring on the concept/framework itself might be in place. Some context: The book already came out in Belgium in February 2016 ([login to view URL], in Dutch). I was actively involved in promoting and marketing (trailer, signings, lectures, website, Facebook, contacting journalists) and it did quite well. That being said, I want to make a thorough revision/overhaul for the international version. So basically start from scratch, with the translated manuscript (done) as reference material, supplemented with new insights etc. The story: I use my story (of how I woke from a month long coma with a severe traumatic brain injury in 2007, struggled to reinvent my life and started traveling, reaching Everest Base Camp in Nepal in 2010) as a vehicle of sharing the lessons learned through my experience and study. If this project is up your ally, I'd love to talk it through and see if we can find common ground in conceptualizing a book. PS: Assistance in the possible publishing or marketing process would also be of great value.

I am an experienced editor, with a strong research background, who would love to help you with your book. Many people will offer you many things on this website, all I offer is excellent communication, which I believe is crucial for projects like this. Generally I like to think that good editing is all about offering choices to the author: ie it's not my job to make decisions for you, but rather to place you in a position where you have the necessary information to make one for yourself. If that is something that you are interested in, then message me and we can discuss things further.

Hi, I'm Rohan and I'm ideally suited to help you conceptualize and developmentally edit your story. I'm a skilled writer and I've had various articles, both fiction and non-fiction, published in reputed journals, newspapers, online publications and magazines over the years. I even have experience ghostwriting novels for my clients. Furthermore, I have a bachelors degree in Literature, with a background in Creative Writing and Journalism, specifically Human Interest Journalism, so I am well versed in interviewing people and talking to them, and then framing their life stories and personalities in an engaging written form. As such, I'm sure I can do justice to your story in a manner that it speaks to the time, feels topical and relevant, and is also entertaining to read! I'd love to have a look at the translated book as a reference point so as to better conceptualize the direction we should go with your international release. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to learning more of your story. Thanks, Rohan P.S. I'm a "Preferred Freelancer" in this site, so I've been perfectly vetted, verified, etc, so you know you can trust my services. I only mention this because your story seems to be quite personal and I'm sure you have reservations about trusting people online with it. To that end, I'll of course sign an NDA or any other document necessary to make you feel comfortable.

Yes, my bid is higher than some, but send me a chapter of your book to edit for FREE, and I think you will see why my work stands out. So far, I've made eight authors very happy. Relevant Skills and Experience My method, developed over 38 years, is to edit a book three times: First, to correct all errors; second, to add creative touches; third, to make the text flow flawlessly and connect with readers. Proposed Milestones €2666 EUR - My journalism background guarantees attention to detail. €2000 EUR - Compassion for a writer's angst is just one force that drives my editing. Do you love cats? If so, we have common ground to build upon.
