Deadline: The work must be completed within 6 hours of receiving the file. Important: If you are not a native or highly fluent English speaker, please do not apply for this project. Thank you in advance!

Proofreading a 50,000 words novel - Supernatural genre

I am looking for an experienced proofreader to review a 50,000-word supernatural novel. The story blends romance, mystery, and fantasy elements, and it’s written in an engaging, emotional tone aimed at young adult and adult readers. Your role will be to ensure the manuscript is error-free, polished, and consistent in style and tone while maintaining the author’s original voice and emotional flow. Key Responsibilities: Proofread the entire 50,000-word manuscript for: Grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors Sentence structure and word choice Consistency in tense, names, and formatting Ensure smooth readability while preserving the author’s voice and rhythm Suggest minor stylistic improvements only when necessary (not heavy editing) Use Track Changes in Word (or similar tool) for easy review Requirements: Proven experience in fiction proofreading, preferably in the supernatural, fantasy, or romance genres Excellent command of English grammar and style Attention to detail and respect for creative tone Ability to deliver within agreed deadlines Deliverables: A clean, proofread manuscript (50,000 words) A version with tracked changes and comments for transparency Timeline: Expected turnaround: 2–3 weeks from project start date. Ideal Candidate: A passionate reader and professional proofreader who understands the pacing, emotion, and suspense typical of supernatural fiction — someone who can elevate the manuscript’s quality without diluting its soul.

I need some proofreading done references added.

I have written a paper that I am still working on. I currently have 18 references and they need to all be vetted for viability and reliability. Some of them may not be peer-evaluated. I need someone to read the paper and verify my references, remove those that don't meet the standard, and find me some peer-evaluated and public references for my paper. The paper is just over 33 pages. I do NOT need any additional writing for the paper. The issue is that my current references are behind some systems and/or paywalls that can't be reached by the general public in order to easily vet my paper. If you have a ProQuest account, that would be the most ideal for this project. The jist of this is that my reference list needs work, I need the in-text references verified, I need references added to support information being asserted, and I need references removed that are not viable for some reason (not factual, can't be verified, improper, etc.). 01.) I need you to read through the paper and ensure that the references are correct in that they are real references and can be easily accessed by a reader. 02.) I need you to verify that the content from the citation properly supports the information it's referencing. 03.) Where applicable, you need to replace and find a new reference that supports the information in the paper. 04.) All references need to be properly formatted in APA 7 format with URL links to easily find them online. 05.) You will need to delete/add to the reference list where applicable. 06.) You need to check all current references to determine if they meet the standard. 07.) You need to read through the paper to ensure that all assertions being made that require references, have proper references supporting them. 08.) You need to make a fully updated reference list to complete the assignment. 09.) As an example when topics are mentioned like the Firewall Theory, Black Hole Information Paradox, Einstein's Theory, Newton's Theory, Hawking Radiation and other physics-related terms, if there is an assertion based on the topic, then a proper reference needs to be included in support. 10.) Terms like the Reborn Communication Window (RCW) and the Transhorizon Binding Force (TBF) are the speculative theories being studied so there are no peer-evaluated references for them, so you don't have to have references for them unless they're being compared/contrasted to a physics-related topic already in existing peer-evaluated literature. 11.) Remove any double citations. Use only single, end-of-sentence, in-text citations. 12.) The budget for this project is $25.00. This is not negotiable. Remember, you are NOT doing content writing. You're just verifying references. I'll add the document once an agreement is reached. I'll do $12.50 down (half) for the deposit. Please let me know when you can start and approximately how long you think it will take you to finish. Re-read the instructions carefully, before you submit to this posting. ...thanks,

SCI Quantum Paper Polish - Proofreading, Editing and formatting

I’m preparing a research manuscript on quantum computers for submission to a top-tier SCI Q1 journal The core technical content is complete, but the language, flow, and layout still need a professional touch so the science—not avoidable typos or inconsistent style—commands full attention. What I’m after is a cover-to-cover polish: every sentence tightened for clarity and tone, every reference checked, and the entire document formatted to the journal’s specifications (Should follow the author guidelines of Quantum Information Processing (Springer)). Familiarity with academic conventions, Word track-changes, and common reference managers such as EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero will make the job smoother, but feel free to use whichever tools you’re most comfortable with. Deliverables • Edited manuscript with tracked revisions • Clean, submission-ready version • Reference list fully conformed to the journal’s style • Short change-log summarising major edits for my quick review I’ll share the current draft (Approx 11,500 words ) and tpictures, we agree to proceed. If you’ve shepherded physics or quantum-related papers through peer review before, let me know—those examples carry a lot of weight.

Your responsibilities • Line-by-line review to correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax • Re-phrase awkward or wordy constructions for clarity and concision without altering scientific meaning • Ensure consistency in terminology, units, tense, and abbreviations throughout the text • Flag and, where appropriate, reorganize sentences or paragraphs that disrupt narrative flow • Cross-check every in-text citation against the reference list, confirming accuracy and formatting them to the target journal style (I’ll provide the guidelines) • Deliver two Word files: one with Track Changes, one clean and publication-ready A strong background in academic or scientific editing is essential. Familiarity with citation management tools (e.g., EndNote, Zotero) and advanced Word features will be helpful. Please maintain strict confidentiality and keep all edits inside Word’s change-tracking so I can easily review them. In your proposal, outline relevant experience with large manuscripts, typical turnaround time for a project of this size, and any questions you need clarified.
