Proofread 33K-Word Manuscript
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
My non-fiction manuscript sits at roughly 33,500 words and is written in an easy, conversational voice that I’m keen to preserve. I need a meticulous proofreader to sweep through the entire document, correcting every slip in grammar, punctuation, and usage while keeping the friendly tone intact. Wherever a sentence can flow more smoothly or read more clearly, I’d love to see rephrasing suggestions—please leave Track Changes on so I can review every edit.
Scope
• Full pass for grammar, punctuation, typos, and minor style inconsistencies.
• Readability tweaks welcomed; no heavy developmental rewrites.
• Maintain the light, approachable style throughout.
Deliverables
1. Tracked-changes version of the manuscript.
2. Clean, final copy ready for layout.
3. Brief note (a page or so) highlighting recurring issues and your top readability improvements.
If you’re comfortable working in Microsoft Word or Google Docs and have a sharp eye for conversational English, I’m ready to send the file straight away.
