Multilingual Family Book Proofreading
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’ve completed a heartfelt family book that blends stories, photos, and memories written in more than one language. Before I share it with relatives around the world, I need a meticulous proofreader who can:
• Check spelling, grammar, and punctuation in every language used.
• Flag inconsistent terminology, dates, names, or place references.
• Suggest smoother phrasing where cultural nuance or idiomatic accuracy is lacking.
• Keep the tone warm and conversational while preserving each author’s voice.
• Return clean, tracked-changes files and a brief summary of key edits.
The text is already laid out in chapters with captions under photos. You’ll receive editable Word files and a PDF for layout reference. An eye for multilingual typography or diacritic issues is a bonus.
I’m aiming for a polished, print-ready manuscript. Let me know which languages you can cover, your typical turnaround for a manuscript of about 40,000 words, and a sample of previous multilingual editing work.
