I have a piece of creative writing that is ready for its final polish. The storyline and characters are already locked, so I’m strictly looking for a sharp eye to tidy up grammar, punctuation, and any lingering typos. Please work directly in Word (Track Changes on) and provide: • a clean, publication-ready version • the marked-up file so I can review every change If you notice a glaring mechanical issue that affects clarity, flag it in a brief comment, but there’s no need to alter structure or characterisation. Turnaround within three days would be ideal.

Creative writing grammar refinement requires precision in preserving voice while eliminating mechanical errors—a distinction most editors miss. Your piece needs someone who understands that over-correcting damages authenticity. Track Changes markup with detailed flagging ensures you retain full control over every modification. This approach keeps your creative intent intact while surfacing grammar, punctuation, and spelling issues systematically. Glaring clarity problems get flagged in comments rather than altered, maintaining your editorial authority throughout. Delivery includes the marked-up Word file plus a publication-ready clean version within your three-day window. Every change is transparent and reversible. This method has consistently produced final drafts ready for agent submission or publication without requiring revision rounds. The work prioritizes mechanical polish over stylistic intervention—your characters and narrative structure remain untouched.

Hi, I can give your finished piece a careful final proofread: grammar, punctuation and typos only, with storyline, characters and voice left untouched. What I focus on: - Grammar and agreement, tense consistency, and punctuation, especially dialogue punctuation (commas and periods inside quotes, em dashes for interruptions, ellipses), which is where fiction most often slips. - Typos, repeated or missing words, homophones (their/there, lose/loose) and consistent spelling of names and invented terms. - Consistency in style choices you've already made (UK or US spelling, serial comma, number style), noted in a brief style sheet. How I deliver: edits directly in your document with Track Changes (Word) or Suggesting mode (Google Docs), so you can accept or reject each one. Intentional stylistic choices such as fragments or dialect in dialogue are respected; if anything is ambiguous, I leave a comment rather than change it. How many words is the piece? I can usually return a clean pass quickly.
