Multilingual Story Proofreader Needed
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a collection of short stories written in more than one language that now need a sharp editorial eye. The pieces range from playful children’s tales to more mature fiction and a few factual narratives, so flexibility with tone and register is essential.
Your task is to read each story line-by-line, correct every grammar, punctuation, and spelling issue, and polish the flow without altering the author’s voice. If you are comfortable working in English, Spanish, French—or can suggest additional languages you master—let me know, as the final line-up of texts will depend on the proofreader’s strengths.
I prefer you to work with tracked changes in Word or Google Docs so I can see every edit and quickly approve or comment. Once approved, deliver both the marked-up file and a clean, publication-ready version.
When you respond, please tell me:
• which languages you can confidently proofread
• any experience you have with children’s literature, fiction, or non-fiction
• how long you usually need per 1,000 words
I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right fit, and I expect clear, prompt communication throughout the process.
