Biographical Manuscript Proofread & Cover Design

@infoways9

I can handle both sides of this project: a meticulous final proofread of the 97,000-word memoir and a professional cover package that reflects the journey from wartime Austria to international business life without making the design feel dated. With 13+ years of writing, editing, proofreading, and publication-document experience, I’m comfortable working in Word with Track Changes and returning both marked-up and clean versions while preserving your voice exactly. For the cover, I’d build the concept around resilience, movement, and transformation, with strong readability at thumbnail size and print files prepared for 6 × 9 in. KDP/IngramSpark specifications once the final page count is locked. Please share the manuscript and let me know whether you already have any cover imagery, photographs, or visual references you want incorporated.

Proofreading a 97,000-word memoir requires tracking not just mechanical errors but consistency across 22 chapters spanning multiple decades and geographies—a manuscript this size demands systematic quality control to ensure voice remains intact while surface errors disappear completely. The approach here combines two distinct phases. First, a granular proofread using Track Changes to flag every grammar, spelling, and punctuation issue without touching structure or pacing. Second, a clean final version ready for layout, plus a detailed style sheet documenting any editorial choices made. This dual-file delivery prevents confusion during production. For the cover, the brief demands restraint. A design that nods to historical gravity without pastiche works through subtle visual metaphor—perhaps layered imagery or a color palette that bridges wartime austerity and modern sophistication. The design must function across formats: readable on a 1-inch Kindle thumbnail, crisp in print-ready PDF with accurate spine text calculated from final page count, and compliant with both KDP and IngramSpark specifications. Delivery includes all source files, high-res exports, and verification against platform specs before handoff. Timeline and rates depend on your preferred completion window.

Hello!⚡ Thank you for such a vivid brief — a final proofread that respects your voice, plus a cover that carries the resilience and transformation at the heart of the story, is exactly the kind of work I enjoy. I recently proofread and designed the cover for a memoir of similar length — grammar-only edit in Track Changes, and a cover that read well on the shelf and as a Kindle thumbnail. Here is how I will do yours: 1. Proofread all 97,000 words for grammar, spelling, and punctuation only — never touching your voice, pacing, or structure, exactly as you asked. 2. Return the Word file with Track Changes plus a clean, layout-ready copy. 3. A cover built around the emotional arc — growth and resilience foregrounded, with a subtle historical nod that never looks dated. 4. Designed for both shelf and thumbnail: strong title and contrast that stay clear at Kindle size. 5. Print-ready PDF — front, spine, back — with spine width calculated from your final page count, to KDP and IngramSpark specs. 6. High-res JPG/PNG for Kindle and digital stores, with two concept directions to choose from. Thanks. Hassan
