I am working on an artistic nonfiction project for teenagers aged 11–15, based on real events.

The book combines artistic prose and developmental psychology and tells the story of young athletes, their transition to a new level of skill, discipline, failures, victories, and personal growth.

I am looking for a literary editor with experience in artistic prose or artistic nonfiction who can help enhance the drama, rhythm, and psychological depth of the text, refine the style and dialogues, provide structural solutions if needed, and maintain the author's voice and integrity of the work.

Experience with books on development, psychology, or sports will be an advantage but is not mandatory.

I would appreciate a brief introduction about yourself, examples of completed projects, pricing, and collaboration format.

Hello!
I am interested in your project, as the combination of artistic prose, developmental psychology, and the sports environment creates a very strong and important format for a teenage audience.
I have experience in literary editing, working with artistic and journalistic texts, so I pay special attention to the rhythm of the narrative, dramaturgy, the naturalness of dialogues, and the emotional authenticity of characters. For me, it is important not only to improve the text technically but also to preserve the author's voice, atmosphere, and main idea of the work.
In the course of our collaboration, I can help with:
* literary editing of the text;
* enhancing the dramaturgy and pace of the narrative;
* working on dialogues and the psychological motivation of characters;
* analyzing structure and composition;
* recommendations for developing individual plot lines and scenes.
I am particularly interested in themes of personal development, sports, discipline, and growing up, so I would be happy to join such a project.
The format of collaboration can be either step-by-step — working on individual chapters and discussing edits — or on the manuscript as a whole. The cost will depend on the final volume of the text and the level of necessary intervention in the manuscript.
I would be glad to review a fragment of the text and discuss the details of our collaboration.

Good evening, Marina. I am interested in your project. I have experience in writing, editing, and proofreading texts and books before printing (if needed, I can send examples of my work in personal messages). Recently, about 6.5 months ago, I did editorial proofreading before printing "The Childhood Diary" (psychology) + currently, I am performing editorial proofreading and correction of a novel, as well as a book on psychology. I am preparing them for printing. I work in both Word and Google Docs.

Additionally, I have a second degree in psychology. I work as an adult psychologist (but I also understand children and teenagers, as I volunteered for a long time in a camp for children and teenagers with special needs). Therefore, I always pay attention to the inner state of the characters.

I am also a former professional athlete. Multiple prizewinner and champion, top 20 best athletes in Ukraine for 2017-2018 (9th place), as well as a Candidate for Master of Sports and a member of the Ukrainian national team in boccia (a Paralympic sport, a game with balls). If needed, I can send confirmation in personal messages.

So, I am ready to help you with literary editing in this project. I guarantee seriousness, responsibility, and timely submission.

If you are interested in my candidacy as a performer, I am ready to discuss all the details of our cooperation in personal messages.

The cost and deadlines are conditional. For 1000 characters – 50 UAH. The final budget and deadlines will be discussed after the final technical specifications (terms of reference) and conditions of cooperation.

I would be happy to collaborate with you. Please feel free to reach out.

Sincerely, Olha Nikityuk.
