I have written my first book. A chronicle of a smalltown HS basketball season, the impact it had on the individuals involved and the community around it. All of the content is complete but I want to ensure all grammar, punctuation, consistency are correct before I send the doc to my formatter. I've read my own work so many times it is easy to overlook or miss things. Is this a project of interest? It's roughly 150 pages (6x9 paperback) and reads fairly quickly.

**Proofreader/Copy Editor Needed – Accounting Firm Web Pages (Short Project)** **Overview** I have 28 web pages of copy for a CPA firm website that need a light but sharp human edit. The content is already written and has passed AI detection — this is NOT an AI writing job. I need a skilled human editor to review and tighten it. **What needs to be done:** - Check that headlines and intro paragraphs are congruent (the headline promises what the intro delivers) - Fix any awkward or robotic-sounding sentences - Break up run-ons and tighten rambling phrasing - Smooth transitions where the writing shifts tone or feels choppy - Light grammar/punctuation cleanup as needed - Flag anything that sounds off-brand for a small-town CPA firm (warm, trustworthy, straightforward tone) **What this is NOT:** - Do not rewrite entire sections - Do not run content through AI tools — this copy must remain human-written - Do not change the factual content or structure **Deliverable** Return the edited copy in the same format you receive it (Google Doc or Word). Use Track Changes or highlight your edits so I can review and accept/reject. **Ideal Candidate** - Strong editorial instincts, not just grammar checking - Experience editing web copy or marketing content - Understands conversational but professional tone - Fast turnaround
