Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am seeking an experienced Adobe InDesign production proofreader to perform the final publication quality-control review of my nonfiction book before publication. This is NOT a copyediting, rewriting, or developmental editing project. The manuscript has already been professionally edited, professionally proofread, and professionally formatted in Adobe InDesign. I am looking for one final meticulous review to ensure the publication files are free of any remaining errors before printing through Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. This is a short-term project with an expected turnaround of approximately one week. Please apply only if you are available to begin immediately and can dedicate the necessary time to complete a careful review within this timeframe. Accuracy is more important than speed. Required Qualifications Applicants must: Be highly proficient in Adobe InDesign. Have experience proofreading print-ready books. Have experience working with books intended for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or similar print-on-demand platforms. Have exceptional attention to detail. Be comfortable making corrections directly within Adobe InDesign. Applications from freelancers who work only in Microsoft Word will not be considered. Project Workflow I will provide: The final edited manuscript. The complete Adobe InDesign package. The print-ready PDF. My house style and capitalization guide. The successful freelancer will: Work directly in the Adobe InDesign file. Carefully proofread the formatted manuscript. Compare the formatted book with the edited manuscript whenever necessary. Make all corrections directly in Adobe InDesign. Export a corrected print-ready PDF. Perform one final quality-control review of the exported PDF. Deliver: the corrected Adobe InDesign package; the final print-ready PDF; a brief list of any questions or issues requiring my decision before publication. I do not want corrections marked in Microsoft Word or PDF for another person to transfer later. All corrections should be implemented directly in the Adobe InDesign document. Scope of Work( and House Style to be provided.
