Manuscript Proofreading and Typing Assistance

I have a set of manuscripts that must move from rough draft to publication-ready copy. Your job is twofold: first, meticulously proofread each page for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and basic consistency; then re-type the corrected text into a clean, properly formatted Word document. Accuracy and an eye for detail are paramount—every intended word should carry over exactly, with obvious slips quietly fixed and flagged via Track Changes so I can review them.
Source material may arrive as scans or unformatted digital files; either way, I’ll supply a brief style sheet to guide headings, indents, and any recurring stylistic choices. Although I sometimes handle academic or business documents, this particular project focuses solely on manuscripts, so experience with long-form prose or narrative structure is a definite advantage. Familiarity with the Chicago Manual of Style will help keep the copy cohesive, but clear, error-free text is the main objective.
Please let me know your typical turnaround time—how many pages you can comfortably complete per day—and any prior projects that demonstrate precision typing and rigorous proofreading. Final delivery will include:
• A fully proofed, formatted Word file
• The same file with Track Changes visible for transparency
If you thrive on detail-oriented work and enjoy bringing raw pages to polished life, I look forward to collaborating.
