I’ve put together several short texts that need a fresh set of eyes. The writing is already drafted, so I’m not looking for a full rewrite—just careful polishing. Your job is to spot and correct grammar errors, refine spelling, and smooth out wording so the final copy reads naturally and professionally. You’ll be working at the “grammar, spelling, and style adjustments” level, so please keep the author’s voice intact while tightening phrasing where it feels clumsy or repetitive. I’m flexible on file type; whether you prefer Word with Track Changes, Google Docs in Suggesting mode, or a clean PDF markup, I can supply and receive the document accordingly. Deliverables • One version showing every change you made • One clean, ready-to-publish version A quick turnaround and clear communication on any unclear passages will make this collaboration go smoothly. If you’re comfortable with standard proofreading tools and have an eye for detail, I’d love to send the files your way.

Entry-level proofreading requires precision at the sentence level—catching the subtle grammar inconsistencies and stylistic redundancies that clients often miss on their own read-through. This project aligns directly with core proofreading expertise. The scope is clear: grammar corrections, spelling fixes, and wording refinement while preserving authorial voice. The deliverable structure—tracked changes plus clean final copy—follows standard professional workflow. Turnaround will be fast. Each text receives line-by-line review for grammatical accuracy, spelling consistency, and phrasing clarity. Unclear passages or edits affecting meaning will be flagged for confirmation before finalization. Track Changes in Word or Google Docs Suggesting mode works equally well; output format matches client preference. Ready to receive files and begin immediately. Clear communication on any editorial decisions ensures no delays.

I can work in Word with Track Changes or Google Docs with Suggestions, whichever is more convenient for you.

Entry-level proofreading requires precision beyond surface-level grammar catches—the challenge lies in maintaining authorial voice while eliminating inconsistencies that erode credibility. This project demands more than spell-check; it requires identifying sentence-level clarity issues, repetitive phrasing, and structural refinement that separate polished copy from rough drafts. With 15+ years of professional editing across academic, business, and creative content, this work aligns with standard deliverables you've outlined. Track Changes methodology ensures complete transparency; every modification is visible and reversible. The two-version approach—annotated and clean—provides both accountability and a production-ready final file. Turnaround depends on text volume, but expect efficiency without sacrificing detail. Communication on ambiguous passages will be immediate. Proofreading at this level is straightforward when expectations are clear: grammar, spelling, style refinement, voice preservation. Send the files over, and we'll move forward.

Brief background: I've worked professionally as an academic researcher, writer, and editor since 2008, writing academic content up to PhD level.

Light-touch proofreading like this depends on restraint as much as skill, correcting grammar and spelling while smoothing awkward phrasing without flattening the author's voice into something generic, so I'd go through each piece carefully, marking every change with Track Changes or Suggesting mode as you prefer, tightening repetitive or clumsy wording only where it genuinely improves flow, then deliver both a fully marked version showing every edit and a clean, publish-ready copy alongside it. I'm comfortable working across Word, Google Docs or PDF markup, whichever fits your workflow best, and I'll flag any passages where the intended meaning feels unclear rather than guessing at a fix. Could you share the texts so I can get started? Past work: https://www.freelancer.com/u/ShariqLadhani Shariq
