Proof read business/self-help manuscript
I'm looking for an experienced freelance editor and proofreader with subject matter expertise (SME) in financial markets to work on my business/self-help manuscript. This is an updated and upgraded edition of an existing published book, so the editor must be comfortable working within an established framework while helping sharpen and modernise the content.

What I need: • Proofreading (grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency) • Line editing (clarity, flow, sentence structure) • Subject matter review — flagging any financial content that needs updating, clarification, or fact-checking • Feedback on tone and readability for a business/finance audience What I'm looking for in you: • Demonstrable expertise in financial markets (trading, investing, capital markets, or related fields) • Experience editing business, finance, or self-help non-fiction • A portfolio or samples of previous finance-related editing work • Strong attention to detail, clear communication, and ability to meet deadlines To apply, please share your background in financial markets, relevant editing samples, your estimated turnaround, and your rate. Quality is my priority, and I'm happy to discuss the budget with the right candidate. Looking forward to finding a true professional who brings both editorial and financial expertise to this project.

Proofread / finish transcription 90 minute BBC Radio Drama
I have an otter.ai transcribed version of the 1959 BBC Radio Drama version of A Man for All Seasons. Actually Otter has made a very good job of this but it still has errors (misappropriations of voice / misreadings of words / lapses at end of sentences) I need someone to proof read the document and correct / retranscribe where the errors pop up and the script clearly doesnt make sense. The drama is freely available on youtube (there are several uploads of the same recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seNGMJbyK8g ) and because it is an old fashioned BBC drama it is of excellent audio quality. I am uploading the document here - please do sample a few minutes and read a few pages simultaneously (beginning middle and end) so that you know when you tender what it is you are agreeing to do. (Let us know that you have). I would like to send this out tomorrow evening so looking for someone who can turn it around in 24 hours. Fixed fee.
