Non-fiction Project Editor, with strong proofreading and critiquing abilities, is needed for a Black woman’s spiritual memoir.
Job description:
Proofread and critique an 80,000 word (350-page) memoir within thirty-days. Chapters are generally 10-20 double-spaced pages, and are well written but may require minor revisions. Editorial candidate must have an open-mind to follow along with the agonizing details of a book that charts the spiritual and mental journey the author underwent in order to convert from Christianity over to Atenism. The conversion process can be emotionally disturbing as it debunks much of what is known about traditional Christianity. The work is, therefore, not for those who are easily offended by hearing a criticism of Jehovah.
