JOB OVERVIEW

Company: MarketX Inc.
Work Setup: Remote / Work From Home

Work Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM Philippine Time
Break: 1-hour break included
Total Work Hours: 48 hours per week under a compressed workweek schedule

About the Role

MarketX Inc. is looking for a skilled and experienced Book Writer who has prior experience working with a publishing company, editorial team, book production team, or similar professional writing environment, and has written at least one complete nonfiction, self-help, motivational, or business-related book from cover to cover.

The ideal candidate must be capable of developing, writing, improving, and polishing nonfiction book manuscripts in Taglish and/or English for Filipino readers. This role requires someone who understands book structure, manuscript flow, chapter development, reader engagement, and the overall publishing process.

AI tools may be used as part of the writing workflow, but the final manuscript must be human-refined, original, well-structured, natural, practical, and suitable for the target market. We are not looking for someone who simply copies AI-generated content. We need a professional writer who can use AI wisely while applying creativity, judgment, research, and strong writing skills.

Responsibilities
Write nonfiction book manuscripts in Taglish and/or English
Develop chapter outlines, book flow, titles, subtitles, examples, and key takeaways
Improve rough drafts, AI-assisted drafts, and existing manuscript materials
Make the content engaging, practical, relatable, and easy to understand
Organize ideas into a clear and reader-friendly book structure
Write in a tone suitable for Filipino mass-market readers
Remove repetitive, generic, boring, or overly academic content
Research topics, reader problems, examples, and references when needed
Ensure consistency in tone, message, structure, and chapter flow
Coordinate with the publishing/editorial team for revisions and improvements
Revise manuscripts based on feedback and publishing requirements
Meet agreed deadlines while maintaining quality output
Qualifications
Must have experience as a Book Writer, Manuscript Writer, Content Writer, Ghostwriter, or Nonfiction Writer
Preferably with experience working in a publishing company, book production team, editorial team, or self-publishing company
Strong background in writing books, ebooks, long-form content, educational materials, or practical guide materials
Excellent writing, grammar, structure, and content organization skills
Can write naturally in Taglish and/or English
Understands Filipino readers and practical nonfiction writing style
Knowledgeable in using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar platforms as part of the writing workflow
Can improve AI-assisted content instead of simply copying or relying on AI output
Creative, detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-driven
Can follow instructions and work independently
Open to feedback, revisions, and editorial direction
Preferred Experience

Experience writing or developing any of the following is a strong advantage:

Business books
Self-help books
Motivational books
Educational books
Practical guide books
Filipino or Taglish nonfiction books
Ebooks or printed books for publishing
Social media, marketing, or sales-driven content
