Fitness/Wellness Nonfiction Book Editing

Posted 2026-05-05
Remote, USA Full-time Immediate Start
    I'm looking for an experienced editor to polish a completed 95-page fitness book: *Simple Military Calisthenics for Women*, a beginner-friendly, no-equipment home workout guide structured as a 30-day program.
  • *Scope of Work:**
  • Proofread for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors throughout the full manuscript
  • Refine tone and phrasing to sound natural, warm, and conversational — the book is written for everyday women and should feel human and approachable, not stiff or formulaic
  • Light copy editing where sentences feel awkward or overly repetitive
  • *What I'm NOT looking for:**
  • Structural rewrites or content changes
  • Changes to the workout programs, exercise descriptions, or chapter organization
  • Heavy developmental editing
  • *Project Details:**
  • Format: PDF (will share Google Doc or Word file for tracked changes)
  • Length: ~95 pages / approx. 20,000 words
  • Budget: $125 fixed price
  • Deadline: Turnaround within 2 days of project start
  • *Ideal Candidate:**
  • Experience editing health, fitness, wellness, or self-help books
  • Comfortable identifying and softening AI-assisted writing to sound more natural
  • Detail-oriented with strong grasp of grammar and style consistency
  • Able to meet a tight deadline reliably

Please include a brief note about your editing experience and, if possible, a sample of previous work in a similar genre. Proposals without a short intro will not be considered.

Looking forward to working with you!
