Copyediting

Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

Shark Stewards is developing an educational and conservation guide to California sharks. We have the guide written and illustrated but I am experiencing a challenge on the chapters in the second half and need some professional advice on flow.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a full manuscript, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have chapter outline, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to reach 10,000 people on shark conservation

This guide will help us in our educational outreach to schools and the community, reduce fears of shark attacks and raise awareness on threats to sharks. It will also give us the entry to speaking venues to cubs and aquariums to share our shark and marine protection message.
