I have a college-freshman-level book (a bit over 200 pages) that explores creative, research-backed ways to overcome depression. The Simplified Chinese edition is already finalized; now I need the Traditional Chinese text to show respect for those using it weekly. Your job is straightforward but meticulous: read the entire manuscript and 1) clarify any line that feels vague or imprecise, 2) replace phrasing that sounds awkward, unnatural, or “translated”, and 3) correct every character error—wrong form, missing strokes, or regional mismatch. I need a native-level editor who works with Traditional Chinese every week in real life, not an algorithm. Please handle the file entirely by hand; NO AI-generated aid. You will receive the Word document and can return it the same way, changing the text as you advise, and you will be the Translation Consultant in book is you wish. We welcome your repair of anything hard to read. Once the manuscript flows naturally, with flawless characters and clear, engaging language, the project is complete. It has been revised over 70x, so priority focus is correct Traditional Chinese.

I am a native Traditional Chinese speaker and a meticulous editor who works with Traditional Chinese daily. For your 200+ page book, I will manually review every line — no AI. My focus is on three things: 1. Clarifying vague or imprecise expressions. 2. Rewriting awkward, unnatural phrasing into smooth, authentic Traditional Chinese. 3. Correcting all character errors, including wrong forms, missing strokes, or regional mismatches. The Simplified Chinese edition is already finalized. This book has been revised over 70 times, so my primary job is to ensure flawless Traditional Chinese while preserving original meaning and tone. I will return a clean Word document with all changes clearly shown. I am happy to be listed as Translation Consultant if you wish. Let me deliver a manuscript that reads as if originally written in Traditional Chinese — not translated. Thank you for considering my proposal.
