About
Hi! I’m looking for a detail-oriented proofreader to review a short fiction story (about 5,000–7,000 words, ~20-minute read). The story is written in present tense and follows a strong POV-driven narrative. Contemporary Fiction/Character Driven Drama What I need help with: • Correcting grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. • Ensuring sentence flow and clarity for easy, engaging reading. • Maintaining voice consistency for the main character throughout. • Optional: minor continuity/logic check (e.g., scene details, small plot points). What I don’t need: • Major rewrites or heavy editing. I just want it polished and professional. Requirements: • Experience proofreading fiction, ideally short stories or novels. • Quick turnaround preferred (a few days is ideal). • Attention to detail and reliable communication. Budget: $15 for the full story.
