Thriller Manuscript Proof & Polish
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
My 93,900-word thriller manuscript is ready for its final polish before I send it to publishers. It has already been through several self-editing passes; now I need a professional eye to catch lingering errors, refine the prose, and most importantly make sure every page meets modern thriller conventions—tight pacing, sustained tension, credible twists, and a consistent, engaging voice.
The work involves a full line-by-line proofread, stylistic smoothing, and any light re-editing required to sharpen scenes or dialogue without changing the story’s core. I write in MS Word, so please use Track Changes for all alterations and comments. Where you feel a structural tweak (moving or trimming a paragraph, adjusting chapter breaks, refining point-of-view) could heighten suspense, add a concise note so I can evaluate the suggestion.
Deliverables
• One Track-Changed manuscript with every alteration visible
• One clean, ready-to-submit manuscript
• A brief editorial sheet summarising style choices, recurring issues, and any genre-specific feedback you think will strengthen marketability
I follow Chicago Manual of Style but am flexible if a specific thriller convention justifies deviation. Turnaround of three to four weeks is ideal, yet I can discuss timelines if you prefer a different schedule.
If you have a track record polishing fiction—especially thrillers—your insight will be invaluable in pushing this book over the finish line.
