Creative Manuscript Proofreading Sub-5k

I have a creative writing piece that sits just under 5,000 words and I need a fresh, meticulous set of eyes on it. The priority is clear-cut: hunt down every grammar and spelling slip while preserving the voice, rhythm, and style I’ve worked hard to craft.

Here’s what I’m after:
• A line-by-line proofread in Word or Google Docs with Track Changes (or an equally transparent method) so I can see every adjustment.
• A clean final version ready for submission or publication.

I’m less concerned with heavy rewriting—this isn’t an edit for tone or structure—so please stay focused on catching grammatical errors, misspellings, and any sneaky typos. Consistency checks on punctuation and basic formatting are welcome if you spot them along the way, but the headline task is impeccable grammar and spelling.

Turnaround is flexible but I’d like to wrap this up within a couple of days once we agree to start. If you love polishing creative prose without diluting the author’s voice, let’s do this.
