Description
Experience Level: Expert
I am seeking a skilled Microsoft Word specialist to compile and professionally format a complete book manuscript from individual chapter documents into a single, publication-ready document.
Project Overview
This is a 10-chapter academic book (approximately 95,000 words) with 30 pages of annexes. This project focuses exclusively on formatting and compilation - no copyediting, proofreading, or content revision is required.
Project Phases
Phase 1: Initial Consultation & Title Review
Consultation call to discuss project scope, timeline, and specific requirements
Title extraction document - Create a comprehensive Word document listing all current titles (chapter titles, section headings, subsection headings) for my review
5-business-day revision period - I will review and potentially revise titles, returning the document with any changes
Title implementation - Update all titles throughout the manuscript based on my revisions
Phase 2: Full Manuscript Compilation & Formatting
Scope of Work
Primary Deliverables:
Unified manuscript document in Microsoft Word format with consistent professional formatting throughout
Custom style sheet applied consistently across all content (headings, subheadings, body text, block quotes, etc.)
Properly formatted citations in Chicago Manual of Style (Author-Date system, 17th edition)
Complete bibliography formatted according to Chicago style
Table of Contents with functional hyperlinks to all sections and subsections
List of Tables with accurate page references and hyperlinks
List of Figures with accurate page references and hyperlinks
Appendices formatting including proper formatting of the dataset source appendix (comprehensive list of sources used to create the book's core dataset)
Current Materials Provided:
Individual Word documents for each completed chapter
Mixed citation formats requiring standardization to Chicago style
Inconsistent heading and subheading styles
Figures and tables with outdated or incorrect numbering
Approximately 30 pages of annexes requiring formatting
Specific Requirements:
Convert all citations to Chicago Author-Date format (e.g., Smith 2020, 45)
Create comprehensive bibliography with all sources properly formatted
Renumber all tables and figures throughout the manuscript (sequentially within each chapter)
Update all cross-references to tables and figures within the text
Format all appendices with consistent styling and proper numbering
Ensure dataset source appendix is properly formatted as a comprehensive reference list
Ensure consistent formatting for headers, footers, and page numbering
Apply academic typography standards appropriate for scholarly publication
Maintain document integrity and formatting compatibility for future editorial revisions
Additional Considerations:
Manuscript should meet Cambridge University Press formatting guidelines
All footnotes (if any) should be properly formatted according to Chicago style
Ensure proper formatting of block quotes, appendices, and any special elements
Important: This is a formatting project only - no copyediting, proofreading, or content changes are required
Great if you could include in your response
Your experience with academic manuscript formatting
Availability for an initial consultation call
Estimated timeline and number of hours for Phase 1 (title extraction) and Phase 2 (full formatting)
