My adult-market fiction manuscript is finally finished—230 pages of polished storytelling that now needs a meticulous last pass. I’m looking for a proofreader to catch spelling slips, punctuation glitches, and any lingering grammatical hiccups before I move to layout and publication. No restructuring or line polishing is required; the story, voice, and pacing are already locked. The draft is in Microsoft Word, so please be comfortable using Track Changes (or suggest an equally transparent alternative). I’d like you to: • mark every alteration so I can accept or reject each change easily • flag anything ambiguous or inconsistent in a short query/comment • provide a concise style sheet noting recurring decisions (e.g., hyphenation, numerals, character names) Turnaround of roughly 10 calendar days suits my schedule, but let me know if you can improve on that without rushing the quality. Discretion is essential, and a brief sample of previous fiction proofs—or a quick 500-word test on request—will help me choose confidently. If you love zeroing in on the tiny details that elevate a manuscript from good to print-ready, I look forward to working with you.

The author of twelve published novels, I have over fifteen years' editing and proofreading experience. In that time, I've worked with all kinds of different writers - from first-time authors to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, historical, thriller, YA, romance, sci-fi/fantasy, etc. In terms of my working practices, I will proofread your novel with an eagle eye for detail. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical lapses, the repetition of words/phrases, etc. A second read-through to check on previous suggested amendments and to make sure the writing flows well and is in its rightful place. And thirdly, a final read-through to ensure your work has that essential professional polish. Additionally, I will provide an interim assessment of the manuscript within twenty-four hours of receipt, just to give you my first impressions of your writing and let you know what kinds of changes I'm making. I use Track Changes in Word, can make a start right away, and will provide the requested report at the end of the process. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Congratulations on finishing your manuscript; that’s no small feat, and it sounds like you’re exactly at the stage where a sharp final pass makes all the difference. I specialise in detailed proofreading for fiction and would be happy to take this on. From your brief, we’re very aligned on expectations: preserving your voice while ensuring the manuscript is clean, consistent, and publication-ready. Here’s how I’d approach your project: - Meticulous proofreading in Word using Track Changes so every edit is fully visible and easy for you to accept or reject - Clear, concise comments wherever something feels ambiguous or inconsistent (without overstepping into rewriting) - A clean, practical style sheet covering hyphenation, numerals, character names, and any recurring stylistic decisions While your timeline allows for 10 days, I can comfortably deliver a high-quality turnaround within 4 days, without compromising attention to detail. I structure my passes to ensure nothing slips through, even on tighter timelines. I understand the importance of discretion, especially with unpublished fiction, and I treat all manuscripts with complete confidentiality. Happy to complete a 500-word test edit so you can see exactly how I work. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys catching the small details that elevate a manuscript from polished to print-ready, I’d love to collaborate. Best, CP

Hi there, Your 230-page fiction manuscript is exactly the kind of project I thrive on. You need a sharp eye for spelling, punctuation, and grammar inconsistencies before publication—and that's my sweet spot. I understand the manuscript is locked for voice and structure, so I'm purely catching those final technical details that separate good from print-ready. Here's what you'll get: • Meticulous proofread with all changes tracked in Word for easy review • Flagged queries on anything ambiguous or inconsistent • A custom style sheet documenting recurring decisions (hyphenation, numerals, character formatting) • Turnaround within 10 calendar days—potentially faster depending on final page count Over six years and 540+ projects, I've proofread everything from literary fiction to genre work across dozens of publishing contexts. I'm comfortable working under discretion and happy to provide a 500-word sample or previous fiction proof examples so you can assess my attention to detail firsthand. What's your target publication date, and does the 230 pages include front matter or just the main narrative?
