Proofread 60K Spiritual Manuscript
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m getting ready to upload my first full-length spiritual nonfiction book—just over 60,000 words—to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, and I need a final set of expert eyes on the manuscript. Your task is straightforward: catch every mechanical glitch (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and consistency) while leaving my distinctive voice completely intact. I’m not looking for developmental comments, line edits, or any attempt to “smooth out” the prose—simply an eagle-eyed proofread that respects the rhythm already on the page.
I work to Chicago Manual of Style conventions, so familiarity with CMOS rules is essential. I’ll deliver the manuscript in Microsoft Word and would like you to return a tracked-changes file plus a clean version ready for layout. If you notice anything that clearly conflicts with Chicago, flag it; otherwise, limit comments to genuine errors.
Because I have several other manuscripts in the pipeline, I’m hoping to build an ongoing relationship with the right proofreader. Impress me here, and you’ll be first in line for the next project.
