My 14-chapter autofiction manuscript is ready for a rigorous editorial pass before it heads toward publication. The first priority is refining the overall structure and flow, but I also need every grammar, punctuation, and style slip cleaned up along the way. Beyond line edits, I’m asking for candid notes on character development, plot coherence, and pacing so the narrative keeps readers hooked from start to finish. I’d like feedback that works on two levels: detailed, chapter-by-chapter commentary and an overarching summative report. We’ll begin with Chapter 1 as a paid pilot. For that opening chapter, please return: • A Word file with Track Changes showing all corrections • Inline comments flagging structural or tonal issues • A brief overview (about one page) outlining key strengths, weaknesses, and next-step recommendations If your approach fits, I’ll extend the assignment to the remaining thirteen chapters under the same framework. Experience proofreading full-length books—especially autofiction or related literary genres—is essential. Discretion is critical All work should be delivered in Word or Google Docs , and I’m aiming for a one-week turnaround on the pilot chapter. Honest, constructive criticism is not only welcome but encouraged.

Hello, Your 14-chapter autofiction manuscript deserves an editorial pass that respects the genre's blur of memory and self, so beginning with Chapter 1 as a paid pilot is the right call. For that opening chapter I will return a Word file with genuine Track Changes covering grammar, punctuation and style, inline comments flagging every structural or tonal issue, and a one-page overview of key strengths, weaknesses and next-step recommendations. Discretion goes without saying. Firm price: 90 EUR for the pilot chapter, delivered within 3 days. The scope is a real editorial reading, not a surface clean-up, so the notes on character, coherence and pacing are actually usable when we extend to the remaining thirteen. One question: is Chapter 1 written in the past or present tense, and does it stay within a single narrator's point of view? That shapes how I assess consistency and flow. Kind regards, Eric

Starting with Chapter 1 as a paid pilot makes sense. I’ll return exactly three things: a .docx with Track Changes, focused margin comments on structure, voice, character clarity and pacing, and a one-page editorial note with concrete next steps. I’ll preserve the manuscript’s voice rather than flattening it into generic prose, and I’ll keep the file confidential. Before starting, please send the chapter’s word count and confirm a paid pilot block of up to 9 tracked hours at ₹1,250/hour; I’ll provide a time/log summary with the deliverables. For a chapter up to roughly 5,000 words, I can deliver within 48 hours of receiving the file. If it is much shorter or longer, I’ll confirm the exact block first so there are no surprises.

You are asking for a proofread and a critique, so you get both, not typo hunting with a compliment attached. I mark the mechanical errors, and separately give you a short honest note on what is working and where a reader would drift. Happy to do a sample chapter first so you can decide whether my read is actually useful to you. Available now. I am a capable professional and only this affordable because I am after my first review here.
