Kannada Proofreading for Self-Help Book
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I have a self-help book, translated from Hindi into Kannada, that now needs a proofread and light edit before it heads to layout. The file is well over 90,000 words, so endurance and an eye for detail are both essential.
Your core task is to remove every last bump—grammar slips, spelling errors, punctuation glitches and awkward sentence constructions—while keeping the author’s original meaning intact. The tone must stay consistently formal throughout, yet still warm and motivational in keeping with the genre. Because I am not certain whether any unintended regional variations have crept in, I will rely on you to flag and standardise vocabulary wherever necessary so the final draft reads naturally to a broad Kannada audience.
Please show me a sample of previous long-form Kannada proofreading or editing you have handled (ideally a book or thesis). I work in Word, so returning the manuscript with Track Changes enabled plus a clean copy will be the expected deliverable, along with a brief style sheet summarising any recurring decisions. it would be great if you live in delhi.
Timeline and milestone breakdown are open for discussion once you’ve reviewed a short excerpt and estimated the effort required.
