Fiction Book Proofreading (73k Words)

I'm seeking a meticulous proofreader for my 73,000-word fiction book (197 pages, or 7 hours reading time). The focus will primarily be on grammar, punctuation, spelling, and typos. The book is written in American English, so a keen understanding of this dialect's nuances will be essential.

Key Responsibilities:
- Proofread the manuscript for grammar and punctuation issues.
- Identify and correct spelling errors and typos.
- Ensure the text adheres to American English conventions.

Ideal Skills:
- Exceptional command of American English.
- Prior experience in proofreading fiction preferred.
- Attention to detail is crucial.

I do not have a preferred style guide, so a flexible and adaptable approach will be appreciated.
