My non-fiction manuscript is finished in draft form and now needs a thorough editorial pass—from high-level structure to the final polish. The book is already written; what remains is tightening the logic, refining the voice, and clearing every last typo. Scope of work • Developmental editing: assess overall organisation, chapter flow, and argument strength, then suggest restructures or additions where the narrative feels thin. • Copy editing: address sentence-level clarity, consistency, tone, and adherence to Chicago Manual of Style while flagging any factual inconsistencies. • Proofreading: one last sweep for spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors after copy edits are applied. Deliverables 1. Annotated Word document with Track Changes. 2. Separate editorial letter (2–4 pages) summarising big-picture observations and proposed fixes. 3. Style sheet noting decisions on spelling, capitalisation, numbers, and key terminology. 4. Clean, final file ready for layout. I will provide the full draft as a Microsoft Word document. Please indicate your typical turnaround time for each stage and any experience you have with non-fiction projects, especially works that blend narrative and research.

Hi there, I am confident I can provide a thorough, high‑quality editorial pass for your non-fiction manuscript, covering structure, clarity, and final polish. With extensive experience in non-fiction editing, developmental reviews, and Chicago-style copy editing, I specialise in tightening logic, refining voice, and producing publication-ready prose. My approach will begin with a developmental assessment, examining chapter flow, argument strength, and narrative cohesion. I will provide clear suggestions for restructuring, additions, or cuts where the text feels thin or repetitive. Next, I will perform a detailed copy edit to enhance sentence-level clarity, tone, and consistency while addressing spelling, punctuation, formatting, and adherence to Chicago Manual of Style. Finally, a meticulous proofreading sweep will ensure all remaining errors are corrected, leaving a clean, polished manuscript. Deliverables will include a tracked Word document, a 2–4 page editorial letter summarising big-picture observations and recommended fixes, a style sheet noting spelling, capitalization, and terminology decisions, and a final ready-to-layout file. QUESTION: Approximately how many words is the manuscript, so I can provide an accurate turnaround estimate? Let's chat! Regards, Shehwani.

With over a decade of experience as an editor, I have a keen eye for detail, strong organization skills, and a deep commitment to quality. Although my profile may not directly address your manuscript's non-fiction nature, bear in mind that non-fiction writing requires the same level of meticulousness I offer in all my work. My proficiency with different programming languages, from JavaScript to Java and even Python offers an edge when it comes to sticking closely to Chicago Manual of Style, combing for factual inconsistencies and ensuring accurate data representation. In conclusion, my editorial forte lies in refining texts at both the macro and micro levels—an ability that aligns perfectly with your project requirements. As an added bonus, my natural curiosity and love for knowledge gathering will foster greater comprehension and fluency with your specific subject matter, amplifying the clarity and coherence of your manuscript. Let me add an invaluable finesse to your already finished piece; I promise not just to meet but exceed your expectations at every step along the way.
