I have a completed short story in English—about 4,500 words of contemporary, character-driven fiction—that now needs a meticulous final pass. The narrative voice and structure are set; what I require is a sharp eye to catch every comma splice, mis-used semicolon, and stray typo so the prose reads flawlessly.

Your task is straightforward: work through the manuscript line by line, fix grammar, punctuation, basic spelling, and any word-choice slips that interrupt clarity. Flow, plot, and character arcs are already locked; please keep revisions limited to technical correctness unless you spot an obvious error that would jar a reader.

Deliverables
• A Word file (.docx) with Track Changes on, showing every correction
• A clean version for easy reading

I will review and accept the job once both files are returned and all marked changes address grammar and punctuation consistently throughout the piece.
