I have a 791,000-word second-edition manuscript that blends business strategy with technical concepts and case studies. The content has already been vetted by subject-matter experts; what it now needs is a meticulous, front-to-back proofread and very light copy-edit that preserves the existing layout and voice. Scope The file is laid out for a 6" × 9" trim size and is already typeset in Word. All corrections must respect this setup and the mixed tone—formal when explaining theory, conversational in examples, and technical in reference sections. No external style guide is required; simply keep the conventions already present in the document. Deliverables • A clean, publication-ready Word file • A tracked-changes version showing every edit • A brief style sheet noting any recurring decisions (e.g., acronym expansion, capitalization choices) Acceptance Criteria • Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are error-free • Headers, footers, and page numbers flow correctly • Sentences read naturally; paragraphs break at logical points • Margins remain accurate for the 6" × 9" layout • Bulleted and numbered lists are consistently indented and capitalized • Acronyms and technical terms are used uniformly throughout Familiarity with business and technology terminology at a moderate-to-expert level is essential so that jargon, metrics, and code snippets remain intact while still reading smoothly. Once the final files are returned, I will run a quick spot check; if everything aligns with the criteria above, the project will be signed off immediately.
