Copy Editor / Ghostwriter / Publishing Pro Needed for Finalizing Narrative Nonfiction Book

I'm looking for a seasoned copy editor, ghostwriter, and publishing professional to help take my narrative nonfiction manuscript — American Titans — across the finish line and make it KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) print-ready. The book is approximately 200,000 words and maybe 80% complete, with the remaining part requiring professional refinement, editing, and polish to align with bestseller-quality standards in the genres of narrative nonfiction, biography, and popular history. About the Book: American Titans (code name for now) is a sweeping, cinematic work profiling 80+ visionaries who shaped America’s rise — from founding fathers to modern tech rebels. Think Sapiens meets Titan, with the narrative punch of a TED Talk and the rigor of Harvard Business Review. Each chapter is designed to read like a standalone story, blending: Underdog arcs, world-changing ideas, and reinventions Emotional, cinematic storytelling grounded in facts Themes of resilience, innovation, identity, and global impact What I Need: I'm seeking someone who can act as a final-mile partner — not just fixing typos, but elevating the manuscript's structure, clarity, and emotional impact while preparing it for KDP print and ebook formats.
