Novel & Educational PDF Proofreading -- 2

Job ID: 39934443

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I have two PDF manuscripts—one is a work of fiction, the other an educational text—and I’m looking for a meticulous proofreader who can bring both up to Chicago Manual of Style standards.

The job involves:
• Correcting all grammar, spelling, and punctuation issues.
• Ensuring formatting consistency across headings, page numbers, spacing, and fonts.
• Flagging any content inaccuracies or obvious factual slips so I can review and amend them.

Both files are already laid out, so I’m not asking for a full redesign—just a careful pass that leaves me with:
1. A clean, print-ready PDF for each book.
2. A marked-up version (Word with Track Changes or annotated PDF) showing every adjustment you made.

Familiarity with long-form novels and instructional material is essential, as is a solid grasp of Chicago style. If you have InDesign or Acrobat editing skills, even better, but precise language work is the priority.

Let me know your relevant experience and estimated turnaround time; I’m ready to start as soon as we agree on the schedule.
