Author Advocates is expanding its support portfolio, and the next piece we need in place is detailed proofreading for our clients’ Christian books. Every manuscript arrives in Word, usually between 40,000 – 90,000 words, and my goal is to return a polished file that is free of grammar and punctuation slips, maintains spelling consistency (UK/US as specified by the author), and reads smoothly without altering voice or message. Here is how I envisage the collaboration working: you receive the draft, run a full proof pass with Track Changes on, add brief margin notes where a sentence feels clumsy or ambiguous, and supply a clean copy plus the marked-up version. I aim for a five- to seven-day turnaround per project, but I can adjust when a manuscript is exceptionally long. Acceptance criteria • All grammar, punctuation and spelling errors corrected • Consistent treatment of scripture references, capitalisation and denominational terms • No unresolved comments in the final clean file • Two versions delivered: Tracked and Final If this fits your expertise in Christian publishing, I’m ready to slot you in on our next manuscript as soon as we agree on a schedule.

Hi, We will remove grammar and punctuation slips, standardise UK/US spelling as specified, ensure scripture references and denominational capitalisation are consistent, and return tracked and clean Word files that preserve the author's voice. We have spent the last 10 years solving exactly this type of problem. We will run a full Word Track Changes proof pass, apply English Grammar checks in-context, add brief margin notes where sentences feel clumsy or ambiguous, standardise scripture reference formatting and capitalisation, resolve comments so none remain in the final clean file, and supply both a tracked document plus a final clean copy; our Editing strategy preserves voice while a final Proofreading sweep catches any remaining slips. Typical turnaround is 5-7 days, adjustable for manuscript length. Thanks, Zeeshan - Please use We,us, our. We are team so dont use I, me.

Christian manuscripts require a different level of editorial care than standard nonfiction. Beyond grammar and punctuation, there is the responsibility of preserving theological accuracy, scriptural context, denominational nuances, and the author's ministry voice without unintentionally changing meaning. One area I pay particular attention to is consistency in biblical references and Christian terminology. Small details such as capitalization of pronouns referring to God, formatting of scripture citations, treatment of doctrinal terms, and consistent use of Bible translations can significantly affect a reader's experience and the credibility of a manuscript. Many proofreaders can spot punctuation errors; far fewer understand when an edit could unintentionally alter theological intent. This is why your requirement for maintaining the author's voice while polishing readability stood out to me. Whether the manuscript is devotional, discipleship-focused, testimony-based, pastoral teaching, Christian living, or theological commentary, my approach is to strengthen clarity without diluting the message God has placed on the author's heart. I'd love to learn more about the types of Christian books Author Advocates publishes and how you currently manage your editorial workflow.
