    Description

    Copy Editor Needed for Non-Profit Book Called "Big Hearts on a Little Island"

    We're an all-volunteer team working to archive the beautiful stories of how locals stepped up to help in inspiring ways after the Maui Wildfires in August 2023. We have interviewed nearly 200 different community helpers and are working to tell the stories of the unsung heroes. The end result will be a coffee table book with stories and photos depicting the incredible tales from the days, weeks, and months after the fires as the whole island came together to help. If you have professional copy-editing experience and would be willing to help us in finalizing the copy before May 31st, please let us know! And if you can only do a few chapters given our tight timeframe, that's fine too. All proceeds from the book sales will go back to the community to help with the rebuilding of the Lahaina Library.
