Seeking Mental Health Professional for Editorial Review on Behavior Change Book Project

Upwork is seeking an experienced mental health professional to review and provide editorial feedback on a 30,000-word book about emotional and behavioral change. The role involves reading the manuscript, offering high-level feedback on clarity and tone, and writing a brief endorsement. Ideal candidates should have a background in behavioral psychology or counseling and enjoy engaging with self-help content. This is a one-time remote project with a budget of $300–$1,000.
[Note: The scope has been revised to clarify expectations]

We are looking for an experienced mental health professional with a strong academic or clinical background to review and write an editorial endorsement for an upcoming book on emotional and behavioral change.

The book is approximately 30,000 words, written for everyday readers, and structured around a step-by-step model to help individuals recognize and shift harmful patterns—particularly in the context of relationships.

What We’re Looking For

This is not a clinical peer review. Instead, we’re looking for someone who can:

✔️ Read the full manuscript

✔️ Provide brief, high-level feedback on clarity, tone, and psychological soundness

✔️ Write a 150–250 word editorial review or professional endorsement to be featured with the book

Ideal candidate:

• Background in behavioral psychology, counseling, or psychotherapy

• Experience working with clients on emotional regulation, conflict, or toxic behavior patterns

• Enjoys reviewing or engaging with self-help or psychoeducational content

• Is comfortable contributing to a book designed for a general audience (not clinical professionals)

Budget & Timeline

This is a one-time project.

• Budget: $300–$1,000, depending on fit and experience

• Turnaround: 2–3 weeks from receiving the manuscript

If you’re passionate about making psychological insight accessible and want to support a meaningful project aimed at positive behavior change, we’d love to hear from you. More details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
