Anthropology Manuscript Polishing & Formatting -- 2

Job ID: 39914458

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

My academic manuscript in anthropology is ready for its final refinement before publication. It needs a thorough language pass—grammar, punctuation, spelling, tone—and careful editing to tighten clarity, remove redundancies, and maintain a consistent scholarly voice appropriate for the social sciences.

After the text is clean, I also need layout work so it meets professional standards for both print-on-demand paperbacks and mainstream ebook platforms (Word → PDF for print; validated EPUB/KF8 for digital). That includes proper heading styles, figure and table placement, footnote/endnote alignment, front- and back-matter sequencing, and an automatically generated table of contents that functions in e-readers.

Deliverables
• Tracked-changes Word file showing all edits
• Final, publication-ready Word file
• Print-ready PDF (trim size and margins agreed in advance)
• Validated EPUB (and optionally Kindle-specific file)

Consistency with the chosen citation style (APA author-date) and file integrity checks with Sigil or Kindle Previewer will be part of the acceptance criteria.

The manuscript is fully drafted but I'd like some structural rewriting with a meticulous polish and professional formatting so I can upload without further tweaks.
