Proofread - Young Adult Fantasy Novel Manuscript

Paid on delivery
Hello, relisted job due to new baby. I've written and self-published a young adult fantasy novel. It was edited and proofread by several individuals (through freelancer.com), but many common mistakes were still in the manuscript. I haphazardly published it on Amazon and although it was well received, some said it was poorly edited/proofread, so here I am. I'm looking for a proofreader to go over it one last time. I feel it would be an enjoyable read for a YA Fantasy reader (think The Never Ending Story meets Alice in Wonderland) and a relatively simple proofread at this stage of the manuscript. (See attached chapter 1 as an example) I can provide the latest manuscript in Word format. It's in USA English, so please make sure you know it inside and out. It is a large novel at around 200,000 words broken into 83 Chapters- Chapters get smaller and smaller as they bounce from one perspective to another until the climatic ending. One story in the fantasy world the other in a reality as we know it, intwine until both meet in the end. I start each chapter with over 80 illustrations drawn by myself to break it up somewhat.(Think Edgar Allen Poe, black ink drawings) I have attached the first chapter as an example. Will need it completed within 1 week Word doc to be returned proofread. You can trickle feed them through as completed. Happy to accept word doc changes, would like it confidently completed on your end available for me to cut & paste into working Indesign Print Document. Without a worry of finding any typographical errors, mistakes in grammar, style, and spelling. If you can and would like do this, please apply!

Hi, Congratulations on your new baby! What a disappointment that others haven't done their jobs properly. I'd be glad to get this done for you. I'm also happy to break up the job into small milestones so you can approve them as we go and as you see the work is getting done to the standard it should be at for publishing. I'd also log my time and suggest lower milestones to save you some money if I have over-estimated my cost. I'm a native English speaker from Australia and can easily adapt to American English. I'm flexible, professional and willing to put in the time to have this done by the deadline of one week from when I receive the file/s. Hope to hear from you soon, Jade

Hello, I consider myself a skilled writer that strives to make the customer happy and completely satisfied. Since I have excellent grammar and spelling capabilities, I am able to determine the concept that is trying to be shared by the customer. I then turn around and correct missing links or other errors and produce refreshed content that is plagiarism-free. No online rewriting tool is needed in this case. It is important to remember that the content of your business plan – not just the appearance – could be the first impression a prospective client may get. If the prospective customer receives a document that is full of grammatical errors, misspelled words, and inaccurate information it can give a poor impression of the presenting business. It would be my pleasure to help you get your content in optimal shape. Regards

"Hello, I offer any kind of editing/rewriting/proofreading and complete them expertly ready within short time. I will ensure a plagiarism free article. Plagiarism is generally grounds for failure of a course and can lead to dismissal from college; in this case it should be avoided or prohibited. You must always have a reference page as well as in-text citations to avoid plagiarism. The Reference Page immediately follows the text of the paper. Items on the reference page are listed alphabetically. If you use another person's idea or paraphrase another person's words, be sure to use your own language and style of writing - don't simply rearrange the words. The scope of my services also extends further to detailed descriptions and correction of grammatical errors. Regards "
