Developmental Editor Needed for Poetic Nonfiction Manifesto

I’m seeking a developmental editor, not a line editor. This is a 24,700 word philosophical, poetic, voice-driven book—not traditional prose. The writing is structured like a war journal or spoken-word manifesto. Think Marcus Aurelius meets Goggins, but written like a man whispering to himself at 2AM. I’m looking for someone who: • Understands rhythm, pacing, and emotional repetition • Has edited hybrid memoir/self-help/poetic nonfiction • Can handle a raw tone without softening it You’ll be evaluating structure, thematic overlap, and whether the intensity stays cohesive—not correcting grammar. If this sounds unfamiliar or uncomfortable, this probably isn’t a match. I’ll provide 3 sample chapters (about 6,000 words). Please share relevant work you’ve edited—books with fire, edge, or voice.
