Senior Non-Fiction Writer & Collaborator (Books + Brand Writing)

Mahabir Industries
Randburg Full-day Part-time

Description:

We’re looking to collaborate with a *senior non-fiction writer* to help shape a series of book projects this year.


This is a co-creation process—not ghostwriting. You’ll receive written frameworks, ideas, voice note transcripts, and partial drafts. We use Trello to organize chapters and themes and google doc (to work on cloud) to write on. You’ll help us structure, refine, and elevate the material.


Topics We Cover:

-Factory setup and franchise (currently writing on this)

- Entrepreneurship & African exports

- Policy, development & infrastructure

- Self-improvement & productivity

- Ayurveda & holistic health


Who We’re Looking For:

- 8-25+ years’ experience in writing/editing/publishing

- Has written and published similar non-fiction books

- Strong long-form structuring skills, clear tone, and fact-checking ability

- Allocates 4+ hours most days for steady collaboration

- A thoughtful reader who researches before writing—we avoid guesswork


How We’ll Start:

We can begin with one chapter. You’ll receive the base material—we want to see how we work together. If it flows well, we’ll continue with the rest.


Research:

Some level of research is expected. You should enjoy reading and learning across our topic areas to ensure accuracy and depth.


Additional Work (Optional):

We also need help writing company features and founder profiles. If interested, we can collaborate on this alongside the book work.


Compensation:

$10+ per 1,000 words, depending on your experience with similar books.

We provide the structure and draft—you help refine and finish.

Open to retainers or chapter-based pricing once we get started.


To Apply:

Send writing samples (especially long-form or book excerpts)

Briefly share your approach and availability

We will send some samples for you to look at and work on.

Let us know if you're open to both books and brand writing

We look forward to collaborating
