Biography Manuscript Proofreading & Light Editing
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
My 24,000-word biography is ready for a fresh pair of eyes. It’s written for a general audience and already structurally sound—I now need an attentive proofreader who can polish the text without changing my voice.
Here’s what I’m after:
• Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation throughout.
• Tidy phrasing and sentence flow where needed, staying mindful that the tone remains conversational rather than academic.
• Consistent tense, names, dates, and formatting.
• A tracked-changes Word file so I can review every tweak, plus a clean final version.
No heavy developmental edits are required; this is strictly a light copy-edit and proofread to make the manuscript publication-ready. Familiarity with MS Word’s Track Changes is essential. If you can turn this around promptly and keep the biography’s friendly storytelling style intact, I’m keen to work with you.
