Book or Script Editor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently reviewed a manuscript that needed a tight structural pass and clear feedback to move from draft to publishable. In that project I focused on pacing, scene transitions, and consistent voice, which helped the author align scenes to the publication timeline and the needs of the production team. The work involved a practical balance of editorial notes and hands-on revision, with a clear set of milestones and timelines that kept the project on track. My experience covers manuscript evaluation, editing, proofreading, and providing actionable feedback to improve structure and coherence. I’m comfortable coordinating with designers and illustrators to support the final layout and visual style, while keeping production processes in mind. I aim to be precise and practical in my edits, ensuring the material reads clearly for readers or screen audiences and fits the target format. A concrete example from [Previous Company] involved a 60,000-word manuscript where I mapped chapter architecture, tightened scene beats, and flagged two structural issues that were holding back the ending. After implementing the changes, the author reported stronger coherence across acts and the project moved into production readiness with significantly improved reader engagement metrics during internal reviews. I kept clear notes and a shared revision log so the team could follow progress easily. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name], and I’m open to arranging a conversation at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
