• Strengthen the manuscript in a creative, reader-friendly, and market-appropriate way
• Maintain a natural, relatable, and Filipino-friendly Taglish or English tone
• Preserve the author’s voice while improving the quality of the manuscript
• Review basic book structure, including chapters, table of contents, preface, introduction, and other front matter
• Provide editorial notes, comments, or suggestions when needed
• Submit both the clean edited file and the file with Track Changes
• Meet agreed deadlines without sacrificing quality

Qualifications
• Experience writing and editing books, ebooks, manuscripts, or long-form content (non-fiction)
• Knowledgeable in basic book structure, including chapter arrangement, table of contents, preface, introduction, and related sections
• Strong grammar, proofreading, and editing skills
• Can edit both Taglish and English content naturally and professionally
• Understands Filipino readers and mass-market writing style
• Can improve manuscripts using a modern, creative, and engaging writing approach
• Detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-driven
• Can follow instructions and work independently
• Open to feedback and revisions

Preferred Experience

We prefer someone with a modern and creative editing style, not overly academic, stiff, or boring.

Required Output Per Manuscript
• Edited file with Track Changes
• Clean edited version
• Short editorial notes
• List of major concerns, if any

Skills Test
Shortlisted applicants will be given a short editing test to assess grammar, clarity, flow, creativity, attention to detail, book structure awareness, and ability to preserve the author’s voice.

The test will be used strictly for skills assessment purposes only.
