Children’s Book Proofreader Needed
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have written a children’s book and need a sharp pair of eyes to give it a thorough, professional once-over. The manuscript is complete, and I’d like you to proofread the entire book—spelling, grammar, punctuation, and consistency—while preserving my voice and playful tone.
Key points
• Format: Book (completed manuscript supplied as a Word document)
• Genre: Children’s book
• Target age group: 20-40 (the engaging, read-aloud crowd I’m aiming to delight)
What I need from you
1. A full, line-by-line proofread with tracked changes.
2. A clean, final version ready for layout.
3. Brief margin notes where wording could confuse younger listeners or the adults reading to them.
4. A concise style sheet summarizing key decisions (character names, hyphenation choices, capitalization quirks).
I’m looking for someone experienced in proofreading children’s literature, comfortable balancing whimsy with grammatical precision. If you love playing with language and catching the tiniest slips, I’d love to work with you.
