Polish My Family Story Manuscript
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I recently finished writing a personal family-story manuscript and would like a fresh, professional set of eyes to make it shine. I’m looking for a thorough proofread that corrects grammar, punctuation, word choice, and overall flow while preserving my unique voice and the warmth of the narrative.
What I need:
• A line-by-line pass in Microsoft Word (Track Changes on) that highlights every correction and suggestion.
• A clean, ready-to-share version of the manuscript once edits are accepted.
• A brief editorial note summarizing recurring issues or stylistic recommendations I should keep in mind for future revisions.
Scope details:
– The text is already organized into chapters and headings.
– No major restructuring required; the storyline is set.
– Tone should remain heartfelt and engaging, true to a family storytelling style.
Please let me know your estimated turnaround time, any relevant experience with memoirs or personal histories, and a short sample of previous editing work if available. I look forward to collaborating and turning this manuscript into its most polished form.
