Overview:
We are seeking an experienced author or writer to support the completion of a non-fiction book centered on a historically significant location.

• Ghostwrite and/or expand sections of the book based on provided outlines, notes, interviews, and primary sources.

• Conduct supplementary historical research to support factual accuracy and narrative depth.

• Edit and refine previously written content for clarity, consistency, tone, and historical integrity.

• Collaborate with the author and/or editorial team to align content with the overarching structure and vision of the book.

Required Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience writing non-fiction content, preferably on historical, cultural, or heritage-related topics.

• Experience with ghostwriting, collaborative writing, or editorial development for long-form works.

• Strong research and synthesis skills, with the ability to distill complex historical information into accessible, engaging prose.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Published author of non-fiction books or comparable long-form works.

• Academic or professional background in history, journalism, creative non-fiction, or a related field.

• Prior experience working on projects involving historical preservation, cultural heritage, or tourism-related content.
