Light Proof-Read & Chapter Structuring (£150)

Hi there,

I’m looking for an experienced fiction editor or proof-reader (ideally with a background in thrillers or crime novels) to give my completed manuscript a light professional polish.

The novel is roughly 222 pages (~65,000–70,000 words). I’ve already run it through Microsoft Word’s spelling and grammar tools, so this isn’t a heavy edit — more of a final tidy-up and help with adding/chaptering the book in the right places for flow and pacing.

What I need:

Light grammar/spelling check (UK English)

Ensure punctuation and paragraph breaks flow naturally

Add or advise on chapter breaks to maintain suspense and rhythm

Light consistency check (names, tense, etc.)


The book is a psychological thriller and already formatted in Word.
