Academic Paper Citation Copyedit
I have a complete academic paper that now needs a meticulous copyedit focused primarily on formatting and citations. The content itself is solid, but references, in-text citations, headings, tables, and overall layout must align perfectly with the required style guide (I’ll share the specifics once we start). Here is what I need from you: • A line-by-line review that corrects any citation or reference list inconsistencies and brings every element into full compliance with the designated style. • Clean, professional formatting of headings, subheadings, figures, and tables so the manuscript looks publication-ready. • Two files returned: a version showing tracked changes and comments, and a final, clean copy. The draft is ready to go, and I’m eager to begin immediately. Accuracy, attention to detail, and a clear audit trail of edits are essential. If you have a strong background in academic copyediting and are comfortable working against a quick timeline, let’s get started today.
Book Formatting for Print and Ebook
I will be sending you a 52-k-word manuscript—twelve core chapters plus preface, dedication, foreword, acknowledgements and an “about the author” section—roughly 120 typed pages. Twelve hours after you receive the file, I need two fully-finished versions delivered back to me, hitting a strict 24-hour turnaround: • a print-ready Word document laid out with professional margins and page numbers • a PDF edition optimised for comfortable on-screen reading To be honest I do not know what formats I will need to send to the printer or upload to Kdp so please send in all available formats. The layout requirements are straightforward but must be followed precisely. Each chapter opens with a supplied “scales of justice” graphic, and selected lines throughout the text have to appear as bold, italicised pull-quotes tucked into the outside sidebar margin—clean, readable and visually balanced on every page. I will supply: – the final edited manuscript in Word – the high-resolution scales-of-justice image – a list of the exact sentences to use as pull-outs (indexed by page) You will: – format the body text, headings, front and back matter – insert the pull-quotes in the margin, styling them bold-italic – place the graphic at each chapter start with consistent sizing – build a clickable table of contents for the PDF and a standard one for print – return both files error-free, press-ready and on time Fluent use of Microsoft Word and Acrobat (or an equivalent PDF generator) is essential to meet the deadline. Please only accept if the 24-hour window is comfortable for you; late delivery is not an option.

My novel is finished. For now!
I'm after a professional to cast their eyes over my hard work - different eyes to mine. Fictional. 80,000 words. A quirky adult read, but if you don't like animals (especially cats) then this possibly isn't for you. Dry wit and a shade of sarcasm must be in your make-up, and if you like a 'tipple', all the better. English must be your native language. You're possibly a beta reader. Or possibly an open-minded editor that would enjoy perusing something different. I do not need a proof reader at this moment. More in depth requirements will be furnished according to replies. Worthwhile budget to be discussed. I deeply appreciate your time.
