Language accuracy: correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors.
Typography: replace hyphens with dashes; check that quotation marks are used correctly («guillemets» instead of “inch marks”). REMOVE ellipses, repeated characters, and technical clutter: clean the text of excess marks such as ???, !!!, ......., №, %, #, *, and the like. An audiobook narrator will not be able to read them properly — or will read them, but they are unnecessary.
Consistency: the same forms of names (Masha/Maria), numerals, dates, and abbreviations throughout the text.
List formatting: a single standard for bullets, periods, and capitalization in enumerations. One font, one size.
Highlight changes in color: anything you change must be marked so I can later compare it with the original text.
Semantic coherence: check that characters’ motives are clear, assumptions are justified, and all plot arcs are completed. There must be no dropped thought or break in a clear storyline. After AI review, awkward robotic phrases and sentences remain that no person would say: the thought gets lost or cuts off, word order is wrong, invented slang and unclear abbreviations appear. These must be fixed. It is important to write clearly, in Polish.
Structure and architecture: every chapter must contain at least something interesting — a chapter cannot be empty. A single chapter must not be overloaded with events.
Stylistic editing: remove tautology, bureaucratic phrasing, and unnecessary filler.
Break long sentences (3–4 lines) into shorter ones. The narrator will physically run out of breath, and the listener will lose the thread of the story by the end of the phrase. (Required for the audiobook.)
Do not submit work in which I then have to hunt for mistakes and spend time explaining what to fix and where. YOU ARE THE FINAL INSTANCE. After you, the text goes to print. SUBMIT THE WORK IN DOCX FORMAT. Make titles and subtitles bold.
