Research-Driven Nonfiction Writer for Ayahuasca Book
We are seeking an experienced, research-driven nonfiction writer to collaborate on a thought leadership book focused on ayahuasca, integrative medicine, Indigenous traditions, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
This is not a transcription or light ghostwriting role. The selected writer must be capable of conducting independent academic and cultural research, synthesizing multidisciplinary perspectives, and elevating client-provided outlines into a cohesive, intellectually rigorous manuscript.
The subject matter is culturally sensitive and intersects with science, psychology, anthropology, Indigenous traditions, and contemporary integrative medicine discourse. The writing must reflect nuance, cultural humility, and sophistication appropriate for a highly educated and professionally diverse audience.
