Hi We can clean up grammar and punctuation across the 26,798 words, while preparing your 91-page manuscript for Amazon KDP paperback and hardcover formatting requirements. Over the last 10 years, we’ve solved exactly this kind of publishing-prep editing problem for children’s books aimed at older readers. We will: (1) run a full line-by-line edit for grammar, punctuation, spelling consistency, and age-appropriate language; (2) standardize formatting for KDP compatibility (paragraphing, hyphenation, quotes, and typographic consistency); (3) check that figure/caption text and layout callouts align with KDP expectations; and (4) deliver a clean, publisher-ready file plus tracked changes, leaving illustration-touch placeholders for later. When illustration edits begin, we’ll help verify text placement and any caption/label adjustments so pages stay compliant. Best regards, Zeeshan
