Proofreading a 50k-100k word YA science fiction novel requires distinguishing between authorial voice preservation and technical error correction—a distinction many proofreaders miss. This project demands line-level precision on grammar, spelling, and punctuation without over-editing narrative style or dialogue authenticity. The scope here is straightforward: systematic review across 50,000-100,000 words with attention to consistency in terminology, character voice variations, and genre-specific conventions. YA science fiction carries particular demands—technical terminology must remain accurate, dialogue patterns must feel age-appropriate, and world-building language needs internal consistency. Deliverable includes a fully proofread manuscript with tracked changes, a summary of corrections categorized by error type, and a clean final version. Turnitin plagiarism and AI detection reports included as standard. Timeline depends on word count specifics and revision rounds, but baseline delivery is 7-10 business days for the initial proofread. Ready to start immediately upon contract confirmation and manuscript delivery.
