Memoir Proofreading & Feedback Needed

My completed memoir sits at roughly 590 pages (about 308,000 words) and is ready for a meticulous proofread. I need you to comb through the entire manuscript for spelling, punctuation errors, and capitalization consistency while bringing everything in line with the Chicago Manual of Style. It details a 20 career in military aviation so familiarity with military organization and jargon are a plus. I’ve ran it through WritersAid Pro, MS Editor, and listens to it aloud but still want one more independent check before printing it. I also value a brief, high-level critique of flow and readability. Not a developmental edit—just concise margin comments or a short summary pointing out sections that feel slow, confusing, or repetitive. Deliverables • A clean, corrected manuscript with Track Changes enabled so I can see every adjustment. • A second, fully accepted version for easy reading. • A readability memo (1–2 pages) highlighting any recurring issues or notable strengths. I can supply the Word document once we start; please return all files in .docx format. If you have recent experience proofreading long-form nonfiction and working within Chicago style, I would love to hear how quickly you could turn this around and what workflow you prefer for large projects.
