Experienced Memoir Proofreader Needed
Budget / Salary$30–250
TypeFreelance project

Posted1 hour ago
My memoir is edited and typeset, but before I lock the final manuscript I want a fresh, professional eye on every line. The job is classic proofreading—catching the last-minute typos, punctuation slips, and formatting quirks—yet I also expect you to smooth out flow where a sentence still jars and flag anything that breaks the established tone or style.
Because it is a memoir, the voice must stay authentically mine; any suggestions should preserve that conversational feel while ensuring consistency from first page to last. Track Changes in Microsoft Word is mandatory so I can review every correction and decide quickly.
Please send two or three samples that show you have brought full-length books to press-ready condition, ideally memoirs or narrative non-fiction. A brief note on your typical turnaround time for projects of similar length will help me plan the printing schedule.
Deliverables:
• A single Word document with all proofing marks visible via Track Changes
• A clean, acceptance-ready file once I have approved changes
If you love the rhythm of language, have a sharp eye for detail, and can guarantee consistency without diluting the author’s voice, I look forward to working together on this final polish.
