Editor & Proofreader for Teen Systematic Theology Book (13-19 Age Range)

Job Description:

I am looking for a highly skilled Native English Editor to polish the text of a 52-week Systematic Theology manual for teenagers (ages 13–19) The book is written through the persona of "Scout Theo"—a rugged explorer and mentor who uses logic, science, and "field guide" analogies to explain faith.

It is designed to be punchy, engaging, and direct.


Scope of Work:

Copy Editing & Proofreading:
Fix all grammar, punctuation, spelling, and syntax errors.

Native Flow:
Ensure the English sounds 100% native, modern, and engaging for a US/Western teen audience.

Tone Consistency:
Maintain the "Scout Theo" voice (logical, adventurous, and clarity-focused) throughout the text.

Theology Check:
Ensure Christian theological terms (Imago Dei, Inerrancy, etc.) are used correctly and clearly.


Important Notes:

NO Layout/Maquetación Needed:
I already have the design and layout handled. I am strictly looking for text revision and content editing.

Deliverable:

I require the final edited manuscript in a format that shows Tracked Changes (e.g., MS Word Track Changes or Google Docs Suggestions).

I want to see a clear document showing every correction and improvement made.
