Novel Proofreading & Structural Editing

I have a completed manuscript sitting just under the 100-k mark that now needs a fresh, professional set of eyes before it moves toward publication. The text is already in Microsoft Word, and what I’m looking for is a thorough line-by-line proofread to clear out lingering grammar or spelling issues, followed by an editorial pass that tightens story structure and improves overall flow from chapter to chapter.

You’re free to comment where pacing stalls, transitions feel abrupt, or scenes repeat information, but please keep your focus on structure rather than character-arc work—I’m happy with the characters as they stand. All edits should be made with Track Changes on, and I’d like a short summary at the end that highlights any recurring problems and explains bigger picture suggestions.

Deliverables:
• A Word file with all changes tracked
• A clean, final version ready for layout
• A brief editorial report (1–2 pages) summarising structural observations and major fixes applied

If you have experience polishing novels in the 50–100 k range and can balance mechanical accuracy with narrative momentum, I’d love to collaborate.
