Non-Fiction Manuscript Proofreading

@assignsolver

128-page manuscripts require a systematic approach to catch cumulative errors that author familiarity masks. Track Changes implementation, clean copy delivery, and structural assessment demand someone who understands publishing pipelines. The scope here is straightforward: comprehensive proofreading across manuscript and supplementary materials, with tracked edits for client review. This covers grammar, punctuation, formatting consistency, and light structural feedback on transitions and paragraph tightness. Three short companion pieces (Synopsis, About the Author, Acknowledgments) receive identical treatment. Turnaround depends on manuscript delivery, but non-fiction typically moves faster than fiction due to predictable structure. Expect 5-7 business days from receipt for full delivery: tracked document, clean copy, and half-page structural summary. Experience spans academic non-fiction, business reports, memoirs, and trade publications—all requiring the same precision-based workflow. Ready to begin immediately upon file delivery. Will confirm timeline within 24 hours of receiving the manuscript.

Proofreading a 128-page manuscript requires distinguishing between mechanical corrections and substantive editorial feedback—a distinction many overlook, resulting in missed opportunities to strengthen flow before publication. This project aligns directly with extensive experience in non-fiction manuscript proofreading, copy editing, and publishing preparation. The deliverables are straightforward: tracked changes in Word for transparency, a clean final version, and concise structural observations. The three supplementary sections (Synopsis, About the Author, Acknowledgments) will receive identical attention to ensure consistency across front matter. Turnaround depends on the manuscript's subject matter and complexity, but a 128-page non-fiction work typically requires 5-7 business days for comprehensive proofreading with tracked changes, clean copy generation, and summary observations. This timeline assumes receipt of a reasonably polished draft, which you've indicated with your personal pass already completed. Ready to begin immediately upon file receipt. Track changes will be preserved for your review, allowing full control over acceptance decisions. The summary will focus on actionable observations regarding section transitions and paragraph density—nothing exhaustive, exactly as specified.
