Proofread Christian Self-Help Manuscript
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
My devotional self-help manuscript is nearly press-ready at just under 20,000 words, but I want every sentence polished before it goes to layout. I’ll send the Word file; your role is to proofread it thoroughly—spelling, grammar, punctuation, and small consistency fixes—without diluting the warm, encouraging tone.
Along the way, please:
• Verify the accuracy of several Scripture quotations and reference each to the correct translation.
• Apply Chicago Manual of Style conventions.
• Maintain uniform usage of the key terms on the list I’ll provide.
Deliverables I need back:
1. A .docx with Track Changes showing every correction.
2. A clean, publication-ready version.
3. A brief style sheet noting recurring choices or tweaks you made.
Let me know how quickly you can turn around 20k words and share a line or two about similar faith-based or self-help projects you’ve polished. I’m eager to move ahead as soon as we agree on timing.
