Retype & Proofread Creative Manuscripts
Budget: €8 – €16 EUR
I have a collection of creative writing pieces that exist only as non-editable copies. Your task is to retype every word into fresh, easy-to-share digital files and, as you go, perform a full proofread. I need grammar and punctuation tightened, spelling errors caught, and the original formatting or layout quirks retained so the work still feels like the author intended.
Source material arrives in mixed forms—some pages are handwritten, others printed or scanned—but every line must end up in a clean, well-structured Word document.
Deliverables
• A separate .docx file for each manuscript, mirroring the original structure.
• A tracked-changes version showing every correction.
• A final, clean version with all changes accepted.
Acceptance criteria
• No transcription errors when compared line-by-line to the originals.
• All requested proofreading fixes applied (grammar, spelling, formatting).
• Consistent font, spacing, and heading hierarchy throughout.
If you enjoy meticulous typing and have an editor’s eye, this assignment should be straightforward and rewarding.
