Novel Proofreading

Job ID: 39573630

Budget: $150 – $400 NZD

I need a skilled proofreader for my novel. The focus areas are:

I'm looking for a proofreader to complete a final check of my science fiction manuscript (approx. 170,000 words) before publishing. This is not a developmental or line editing job — the book has already been through full editing and polish.

At this stage, I need a detail-oriented review focused on:

Timeline issues or contradictions (e.g., events or details that don’t line up across chapters)

Character consistency, especially emotional responses or behaviors that feel off

Repeated lines or missing logic between scenes

This is strictly a final continuity and logic pass, not a grammar or style edit. Ideal if you’ve worked with long-form sci-fi or speculative fiction before.
