I have a young-adult manuscript of just under 60,000 words that must be fully proof-edited and ready for submission by 15th August. The text is already in solid shape, but I want a meticulous final pass that: • flags and corrects every spelling or punctuation slip in British English • removes repetitions and smooths awkward phrasing without losing the teenage voice • checks structural consistency and scene-to-scene continuity, making sure timelines, locations and character details stay aligned Please work in Microsoft Word using Track Changes so I can review every adjustment. At the end I’ll need two files: one clean version and one with all edits visible. If you spot any larger issues that could affect flow or tone, add concise margin comments so I can address them quickly. Speed matters—as soon as we agree, I’ll supply the file and expect the polished manuscript back no later than 15th August.
