Hi, I need an experienced native English speaker/proofreader to check 12 pages for an English language textbook – including typos, clarity, uniform formatting of fonts and spacing across all 12 pages (same activity page for 12 sequential units). My regular proofreader is suddenly unavailable, and I need the final pages to submit by Friday. From my experience, if you're locked in, this should take about 3 hours. Sample page attached.

I need assistance with preparing my book for distribution as an audiobook. I will record the book chapters on separate WAV files as per the attached 'Audiobook Recording Checklist'. I anticipate that there will be approximately 6 - 8 hours of recording time. I need an EXPERIENCED audio editor to do edit and master the files to ACX standards, at minimum. The task involves improving the audio quality to ensure clarity and professionalism. The ideal candidate should have experience in audio editing and be able to deliver high-quality results efficiently. See additional editing/production detail below. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: - RMS loudness between -23 and -18 dBFS, - True peak below -3 dBFS, - Noise floor below -60 dBFS, - 44,100 Hz sample rate, mono, - MP3 at 192 kbps CBR, - 0.5 to 1 second of head silence, and 1 to 5 seconds of tail silence. To be included within contract: - If any delivered file fails ACX's automated technical QA check, the editor will remaster and redeliver that file at no additional charge. - Two (2) rounds of creative/technical revisions included for things like EQ preferences or pacing. NOTE 1: Stated hourly rate (below) is the (Per Finished Hour) PFH of final audio rate and is dependent on skill/experience level. NOTE 2: ACX measures true peak using 4x oversampling, not just sample peak — so please master with real headroom, not just skim under -3dB. • Each file should contain only one chapter or section — opening and closing credits go in their own separate files, and every file needs to be uploaded in chapter order: Opening Credits, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and so on through Closing Credits. • The retail sample (what customers preview on Audible) needs to be 1–5 minutes long and should start with narration itself, not the "Chapter One" announcement or any music. • My target is -20dB RMS NOTE 3: RMS is measured across the entire file including silence padding, so a long tail silence can pull measured RMS lower. Please check final RMS on the exported file, not an intermediate mix.

What I need A full line edit and copyedit of the manuscript, checking grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency (timeline, names, formatting) Preservation of first-person voice throughout, with no rewording for style unless something is a genuine error A tracked-changes version I can review and accept or reject line by line, plus a brief editorial note at the end flagging any recurring issues No use of em dashes anywhere in suggested edits Familiarity with or willingness to follow a locked style sheet I will provide (banned words and phrases, formatting rules) TOXIC — Style Sheet for Editors Manuscript by Serena Amari (pen name) | Memoir, approx. 19,000 words, 31 chapters Voice and Point of View ● First person throughout. Do not shift to second or third person for the author's own experience, even in passages that feel reflective or distanced. ● Voice is plain, observational, and restrained. Avoid suggesting edits that add literary flourish or emotional intensifying language. ● Tone is graceful, not accusatory. The author is not attacking her daughter in the text; do not flag this as a gap or suggest "balancing" language. Hard Rules — No Exceptions ● No em dashes anywhere. Use commas, semicolons, periods, or restructured sentences instead. ● No meta-commentary about the manuscript itself (no lines like "this is why I am writing this book" or similar self-referential framing). ● No invented details, quotes, or facts. Flag anything that reads as unverifiable rather than adding to it. Banned Words and Phrases ● AI-pattern vocabulary: delve, tapestry, nuanced, resonate, navigate, underscores, highlights, robust, framework, speaks to, and similar. ● Filler phrases: "Let me say this plainly," "I want to sit with that," "the way X always does," "and I will not pretend otherwise," "That is worth saying plainly," or close variants of any of these. ● "Door" metaphors (e.g., closing doors, open doors) and "sickness" language used metaphorically for the estrangement. ● Formulaic sign-offs or summary sentences that wrap up a chapter with a tidy moral. Names and Privacy ● No real names for any family members appear in the text. Family members are referred to by their relationship to the author (daughter, husband, mother, etc.). Preserve this; do not suggest adding names for clarity. ● The author writes under the pen name Serena Amari. This is intentional and should not be flagged. Scope of This Edit ● This is a line and copyedit, not a developmental edit. Structure, chapter order, and content are locked. ● Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency (timeline, formatting, recurring details) are in scope. ● Rewording for style is out of scope unless something is a clear grammatical or mechanical error. Questions about any of the above should go to the author before changes are made. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I am working on publishing a short poetry collection and need an editor to finish out the publishing process. I had an editor who did major edits already. 2 beta readers have read already. I need someone who can do a look over on the poems, provide feedback based on what the beta readers have said, back cover description, about the author, and any other editing tasks that are needed. This book will have to be Amazon KDP ready. I am working with a graphic designer currently. I am on a budget, so it will have to be a fixed price. Thank you in advance. Ashley
