Title
Ghostwriter/Editor: Turn Teaching Transcripts into a Cohesive Nonfiction Book (Voice-Matching)
Description
I’m creating a nonfiction book based on my recorded teaching sessions of a yoga and lifestyle class. I have transcripts (and can provide audio), plus some existing drafts/notes. I need an experienced ghostwriter/editor to shape this material into a clear, reader-facing manuscript in my voice—not just “clean up transcripts.”
Scope
Propose/refine TOC + chapter template
Create a paid test chapter first
If successful: draft remaining chapters in batches + developmental + line edit (copyedit/layout optional)
Must-haves:
Interest and understanding of Yoga and eastern Philosophy
Strong voice matching and developmental structure (arc, pacing, intentional repetition)
Can anonymize/paraphrase participant/student dialogue ethically
Deliver in Google Docs/Word with tracked changes
To apply, please include
2–3 relevant samples (transcript/interview-based preferred)
Your workflow + estimated timeline
Your pricing for (a) test chapter and (b) per chapter / full manuscript
Brief answers: How do you preserve voice while tightening clarity?
Budget
Open to fixed milestones or hourly.
