Multimedia E-Book Specialist (Editor + Formatter) – $1,500–$5,000
We are creating a unique, multimedia e-book that combines personal storytelling with embedded videos and other interactive elements. The project is already well underway, and we need a professional to help us prepare the manuscript for publication in a way that is engaging, polished, and technically smooth across platforms.
About the Project
- Book length: ~200–250 pages (in progress, with editing support needed).
- Multimedia: 7–10 embedded videos plus possible audio and interactive links.
- Themes: Personal growth, spirituality, legacy, and emotional connection.
- Goal: To create an e-book that feels like both a story and an experience.
What We’re Looking For
- Editorial Skills: Ability to refine grammar, structure, and flow without losing the author’s voice.
- Technical Skills: Proven experience formatting e-books in ePub3 and Kindle Create, with successful embedding of videos and interactive content.
- Design Sense: Understanding of layout, readability, and user experience on phones, tablets, and e-readers.
- Publishing Knowledge: Familiarity with platforms like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, or IngramSpark.
- Collaborative Spirit: Respectful, clear communication and openness to feedback.
Deliverables
- Edited and polished manuscript, ready for formatting.
- Properly formatted ePub (and possibly mobi/PDF) with videos embedded.
- Guidance on best practices for publishing across platforms.
- Final files delivered in a way that allows us to retain full ownership and make updates later.
Preferred Experience
- Prior work samples of multimedia or interactive e-books (please provide links or screenshots).
- Background in both editing and digital publishing.
- Bonus: Experience with memoirs, spirituality, or inspirational content.
Project Terms
- Budget: Open to discussion depending on scope (estimate $1,500–$5,000).
- Timeline: Flexible, but we’d like to see a completed sample chapter (with video) first to ensure fit.
- Remote, flexible hours, direct communication with our core team.
