Proofreading & Modern Book Design for a book written in Uzbek
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
The manuscript is complete at roughly 20,000 words and now needs two finishing touches before I send it to print and digital distribution. The book is written in Uzbek. The book is about guiding high school students and young professionals in improving their communication skills, emotional intelligence, and building their career.
First, every page should pass a meticulous proofread—grammar, spelling, punctuation, and overall flow—so nothing distracts readers from the message.
Second, I want the content laid out with a modern, clean aesthetic. That means consistent typography, generous white space, and subtle visual hierarchy. Each chapter will open with a distinctive header and close with a matching footer. Where the text references data or processes, I’d like to see concise AI-generated pictures, infographics or charts worked seamlessly into the layout. All imagery may come from AI, quality stock libraries, chosen to complement the tone rather than overwhelm it.
Deliverables:
• Proofread, corrected manuscript in Word (tracked changes)
• Fully designed, print-ready PDF (bleed and crop marks)
• Reflowable EPUB and fixed-layout EPUB for major platforms
• A folder containing licensed stock images and editable source files (InDesign or Affinity Publisher)
I will supply the current Word document plus a style guide for colors and fonts. Let me know your anticipated turnaround time and any portfolio samples that show clean, contemporary book interiors.
