Descripción de la oferta
Sentence-level polish for a completed middle-school curriculum The Role BGU™ is a 12-pillar identity-development curriculum for middle school girls. Pillar 1 is fully written and structurally complete — story, activities, facilitator and parent materials, all locked. What it needs now is a line edit: a close, sentence-level pass to tighten the prose, smooth the voice, and catch anything that reads awkwardly out loud. This is NOT a developmental edit. The structure, content, and pedagogical approach are already decided and are not open for restructuring. We’re looking for someone to make good sentences better — not to rethink the book. What’s In Scope ● The Power Guide™ (Pillar 1) — particularly the narrative story and the activity/reflection copy girls read directly. ● The PrepPac — the orientation piece read before Pillar 1 begins, including several cinematic/narrative sections. ● Light copyediting as you go is welcome (typos, punctuation), but the focus is sentence flow and voice — not a full proofread pass. What a Good Fit Looks Like ● Comfortable editing for a middle-school reading level — warm, direct, second-person, sensory. Not academic, not corporate. ● Experience with educational or youth-facing content (workbooks, curriculum, chapter books, or similar) — someone who understands how voice needs to stay consistent for a 12-year-old reader across many pages. ● An eye for repeated words, clunky transitions, and places where a sentence is trying to do too much. ● Respect for an established voice — the goal is to sound more like the author at her best, not to impose a different style. Deliverable & Process Tracked changes (Word) with brief comments explaining any non-obvious edit. A short read-through pass first is welcome, but the deliverable is a marked-up manuscript, not a report. To Apply Send a short writing/editing sample — ideally something youth-facing or educational — along with your rate (per word, per page, or per project) and estimated turnaround for a single pillar (roughly 30 - 40 pages) plus a companion orientation document (roughly 20 pages). This is to edit one of 12 Pillars. If the work is successful, additional PIllars will follow. Experienced Line Editors only.
