Redundancy & Flow Proofread
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’ve already put my manuscript, “From Can’t See to Can’t See,” through a full grammar sweep, so this round is all about polish. I want a meticulous read-through that roots out any lingering redundancies, repetitive phrasing, or momentum-breaking echoes. My top priority is the overall narrative flow—each chapter should lead naturally into the next with no bumps that pull the reader out of the story.
Alongside line-level notes, I’d also value detailed feedback on the book’s structure. If you spot pacing issues, sections that could be reordered for greater impact, or moments where tension drops unexpectedly, flag them and briefly explain why. Think of it as wearing two hats: precision proofreader and high-level story doctor.
Deliverables
• A clean, tracked-changes document (Word or Google Docs) showing every proposed tweak for clarity and concision.
• A short memo (1-2 pages) summarizing structural observations and any big-picture suggestions.
Turnaround within a mutually agreed window is ideal. If this focus on flow, concision, and structural finesse sounds like your kind of edit, I’d love to hear how you’d approach it and when you can dive in.
