Well hello hello. I can definitely assist you with this, especially since I've been in the writing, proofreading, and editing business for over 15 years. My last project on Freelancer is about proofreading and improving an 18k-word E-book. I have no idea the condition your manuscript is in or the topic it belongs to, but I'd consider around $370, which comes to little over $4 per 1k words. And I'm thinking a 7-day turnaround, just to make sure I'm thorough with it. If you wanna discuss, negotiate, or whatever, hmu and we can discuss in private.

I’ve handled several 90k+ word manuscripts where the margin for error was effectively zero, and I fully understand the intense level of focus required for this critical 97,000-word final review. My approach ensures that your unique narrative voice remains entirely intact while we systematically scrub away the invisible typos, lingering syntax inconsistencies, and subtle punctuation slips that even advanced automated tools consistently overlook. Having successfully guided numerous books through the high-stakes pre-publication stage for both independent authors and boutique publishers, I am prepared to provide the meticulous, human-only eye your work deserves to ensure the final product is flawless. My methodology involves a rigorous three-stage deep dive: first, a comprehensive line-by-line sweep for grammatical precision using the Chicago Manual of Style (or your preferred house guide); second, a specific "consistency audit" to cross-reference names, timelines, and formatting across all chapters; and third, a final cadence pass to ensure the prose flows with professional rhythm. I utilize Microsoft Word Track Changes for total transparency, delivering a clean final version alongside a fully marked-up document so you can review and approve every micro-adjustment with complete ease. This process goes far beyond a standard spell-check; it is a high-level linguistic audit designed to ensure the text is polished and ready for commercial distribution. To ensure we hit the right tone, do you have a specific style sheet or any recurring technical terms that require special attention for consistency, and is there a specific publishing deadline you are aiming for? I am available to jump on a quick chat or a brief call to align on your vision and discuss any particular "blind spots" you may have identified during previous editing rounds. I would welcome the opportunity to help you cross the finish line with absolute confidence so that your manuscript is perfectly presented before it finally reaches your readers' hands.
