129k-Word Action Thriller Copyedit -- 2

Job ID: 39771121

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

My completed action/thriller manuscript runs 129,090 words and now needs a thorough, professional copy-edit and proofread. The priorities are clear:

• Correct every instance of grammar, punctuation, and spelling in line with the Chicago Manual of Style.
• Check for consistency—names, timelines, descriptions, and any repeated facts must stay aligned through all chapters.
• Flag wording that muddles clarity or slows the pace and, where helpful, suggest concise alternatives.
• Keep an eye on plot- and character-level logic errors (e.g., continuity slips or contradictory motivations) but stop short of broad structural rewrites; I’m not after developmental notes, just polished prose.

I work in Microsoft Word, so please return both a tracked-changes file and a clean, ready-to-publish version, along with a brief style sheet outlining decisions on hyphenation, numerals, capitalization, and any recurring fixes.

Turnaround time and prior experience with long-form fiction in the thriller genre will weigh heavily in selection.
