College Novel Tactical Proofreading
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a completed college-level novel that now needs a sharp, tactical proofread before I share it with agents and contest readers. Your brief is simple: give the manuscript a final polish so every sentence is clean, consistent, and free of distracting errors.
Here is what I need from you:
• A careful line-by-line check of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and typographical slip-ups.
• A light touch on wording where flow or tonal consistency stumbles, with comments explaining each suggestion.
• Two files returned—one marked-up with Track Changes (or Google Docs suggestions) so I can see your edits, and a second “clean” version ready for submission.
I can supply the manuscript in Word, PDF, or Google Docs—whichever lets you work fastest. I don’t have a strict house style, so feel free to rely on a standard style guide (Chicago or similar) and flag anything that needs a decision.
Once you accept the job, let me know your preferred file format and turnaround time. I’m looking forward to seeing how your keen eye elevates the final draft.
