Seeking Editor for Autobiography Manuscript

Note: While the job poster and the author are based in California, it seems this project could be done remotely.

Hello safranim,

I am wondering if anyone on this list knows a professional  editor that may be willing to work on an unusual project.  I know a young man here in LA (about 30 years old) who has written an autobiography of his life as someone who is living with Asperger’s.  He told me he is looking for an editor before he self-publishes. I saw a few chapters of his work and it is quite interesting and well-written. He discusses his fears and his upbringing (parents Israeli—Jewish school and expectations) quite clearly, although it is obvious in sentence structure that he thinks quite concretely. He does have a job and is willing to pay for an editor to look at his book. I told him that I do think his book will be of interest to those who want to learn more about the thought processes of a person with Asperger’s Syndrome, but I don’t know free-lance or other editors.  If anyone has any ideas, please pass them along!

Lisa
