Kieran Hedges | 2 comments Hi,
I have written a short 35k word book to inspire people to awaken to their true nature following an experience I had 3 years ago after studying Vedic Philosophy for 7 years.

I have proof read it myself but not yet shared it with anyone. There is a fair bit of repetition but I used it to drive the points home, its also interesting because paradoxically what I'm trying to explain/elucidate cannot really be explained. The book is a mixture of my own knowledge, vedantic philosophy and self development.

It does need re-ordering, structuring and sharpening up, Ive not removed any text yet but do believe that there is some fluff to be removed. I also plan on adding illustrations of my own.

Happy to take free advice too but always feel that if someone is paid its a better exchange of value.

I would like some background on your experience - its not simply the technical side of of writing I want to seek advice on, ideally I would have someone beta read who understands the subject matter, is into philosophy of some kind and has a background in the self help/wellness publishing world.

Although I am a newbie writer, the themes discussed are age old philosophical and spiritual principles and I need a time tested "student" of these themes, with a dense background to beta read, please no newbie writers /editors!

Please send a quote and what that includes with perhaps a sample?

Thank you

But I believe you also need someone to read it from the point of view of an everyday reader. The book would be targeted at people like us.

S. Daisy | 33 comments Hello.

I am a beta reader, blurb writer, and comprehensive editor with 7+ years of experience behind me. Several of the first books I ever edited were for Indian wellness book author Joseph Veebe, and I have since then edited several books on spirituality, mainly Christian. I have a background in herbalism as well as an in-depth understanding of the Bible and the Christian faith.

While your book may not be targeted to Christians specifically, I may be able to give you some valuable insight into how the Christian faith and the Bible clash with or support the opinions presented in your work. It would lend a different perspective to things.

My rates are low, and my quality of work is high. Please contact me at daisyediting(at)mail(dot)com or via a message through Goodreads for more information on the services I offer.

Best wishes in your writing journey.
