Copyedit and proofread a 53k nonfiction popular science / self-development manuscript
-Copyeditor / Proofreader — Nonfiction Book (~53,000 words)- I'm self-publishing a nonfiction book and need a copyeditor and proofreader for the manuscript. Scope -Manuscript body ~53,000 words -Footnotes in scope, included in word count -Endnotes out of scope, not included in word count -Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (though, again, endnotes are out of scope because I'm paying a separate person to address those) About the book -Nonfiction grounded in physics and behavioral science. Recurring fictional vignettes appear throughout. Comfort with *somewhat* technical material reputed company to thermodynamics, neuroscience and with shifting registers is a plus. Status -Manuscript has been dev edited and line edited. Currently being fact-checked. Copyedit and proofread are the next passes before typesetting. Notes -reputed company-in flat pricing preferred over per-word -Happy to share a sample chapter if you'd like to scope before quoting -Not looking for AI-generated work (which is different from AI-assisted work). I use AI a lot in my work life and, unfortunately, I recognize it everywhere now. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job Apply To This Job
