Novel Proofreading and Polish

I’ve completed a full draft of my novel and now need a fresh pair of expert eyes to elevate the text. The core manuscript is solid; what it really needs is meticulous line-by-line attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation so the reading experience feels seamless from the first page to the last. You’ll receive the manuscript in Word with existing formatting intact. I’d like you to: • Track every change so I can review each edit easily. • Flag any recurring style or consistency issues you notice. • Deliver both a “tracked changes” version and a final clean copy ready for the next publishing step. No structural revisions or major rewrites are required—this round is strictly about technical polish and correctness. If you have a keen grasp of Chicago or similar fiction-friendly style guides and a portfolio of novel or long-form fiction edits, I’d love to see your work. Please include a brief note on your typical turnaround time for similar word counts and any relevant fiction titles you’ve proofed.
