Professional Editing and Proofreading for a 10,000-Word Spiritual Fiction Manuscript

Published on the February 27, 2026 in Writing & Translation

About this project

Open

I am seeking a skilled editor and proofreader to meticulously review a 10,000-word spiritual/metaphysical fiction manuscript. The work has a poetic tone, and the primary goal is to refine the text for publication on Amazon KDP while preserving its original voice and unique style.

The scope of work includes:
- Comprehensive grammar correction
- Thorough spelling and punctuation checks
- Enhancing sentence clarity and flow
- Light adjustments to narrative flow to ensure a smooth reading experience
- Ensuring overall coherence and consistency throughout the manuscript

I am specifically looking for a native English speaker (or near-native C2 level) with experience editing literary or poetic fiction. Since the manuscript has a lyrical and spiritual tone, preserving natural rhythm and nuance in English is essential.

This project is focused on polishing and refining the existing text, not rewriting it. The ideal freelancer will have a keen eye for detail and an understanding of literary fiction, particularly in the spiritual or metaphysical genre. The final deliverable should be a clean, publication-ready manuscript suitable for Amazon KDP. I appreciate receiving a clear estimate of both time and cost, whether you use tracked changes. Thank you.
