Oracle Guidebook Copy Editing Book Formatting
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I have a 4,000-word oracle guidebook aimed at intermediate practitioners, and I need your editorial expertise to take it to press-ready manuscript. The core of the job is classic copy-editing and proofreading—smoothing clarity and flow, tightening language, and enforcing a coherent voice throughout, so it stays consistent for readers who already know the basics of divination.
Equally important is formatting. I have not locked in a formal style guide, so I’ll look to you to recommend and apply the most appropriate layout conventions for headings, subheadings, card spreads, and page numbering. Your final file should be returned in Word with embedded styles intact, ready for an effortless export to PDF or print.
If this sounds like your bread-and-butter, let me know how you normally tackle projects of this length and whether you use Track Changes for transparency. Please also include a short note on your preferred formatting workflow so we can align expectations before kickoff.
