Multilingual Family story Book Proofreader
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have just finished laying out a family history book that switches between English and other European languages in different chapters. Before I hand it to the printer, I need an experienced proofreader to give the manuscript a final polish.
What I need from you
— Catch every typo, grammar slip and punctuation error, regardless of language.
— Flag any inconsistencies in tone or style that break the reading flow.
— Highlight possible factual glitches (dates, places, names) when something looks off.
— Work in Word or Google Docs using Track Changes so I can review each adjustment.
The book sits at roughly 24,000 words and is already typeset, so you will be working on a clean, formatted file. When you return it I’d like:
1. The marked-up document showing all changes.
2. A clean, final version ready for print.
3. A short summary of any bigger issues or queries you found.
If you’re comfortable moving between English and common Romance/Germanic languages and you have a sharp editorial eye, I’d love to hear how quickly you can turn this around.
