Family Book Proofreading
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m putting the finishing touches on a family history book and need a skilled proofreader to give it a final, careful pass. The manuscript lives in Microsoft Word and blends narrative chapters with photos, captions, and a few quotes that appear in both Spanish and French, so an eye for multilingual details is appreciated even though the core text is English.
What I expect you to do:
• Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling throughout.
• Smooth out wording for clearer flow while preserving the personal voice.
• Flag inconsistencies—names, dates, or place references—so I can verify them.
• Return two Word files: one with tracked changes, one clean.
I’ll share the full draft once we start; please let me know how you prefer to organise milestones and roughly how long you’ll need per 50 pages so I can plan my print deadline.
