English Proofreader for Fiction Novel (Grammar + Flow Check)

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a proofreader to go through my new adult romance novel manuscript (approx. 97K words).

The manuscript has already been edited once, but I later made additional revisions, so there may still be:

typos and spelling mistakes

awkward or unnatural sentences

small grammar issues

I need someone to do a final clean-up to make sure the text reads smoothly and naturally in English.

Since I am not a native English speaker, some phrasing might not sound fully natural, so improving sentence flow would also be appreciated (light editing, not a full rewrite).

Requirements:

Native or near-native English proficiency

Experience with fiction/romance proofreading preferred

Attention to detail

Ability to deliver within 7 days

Timeline:

Ideally completed within 1 week.

Notes:

This is not a developmental edit. The story and structure are final. I only need language polishing and correction.

Trigger warnings: violence, adult words, steamy scenes

Feel free to send me a proposal if you're available for a quick proofreading turnaround.

Talk to you soon,

Mandy
