Beta reader and proofreader for the novel
After editing and layout, we need someone who will read the text with fresh eyes — both as a reader and as a careful proofreader.
Tasks:
to notice typos, punctuation and technical errors that appeared after editing and layout;
to track formatting flaws (omissions, repetitions, line breaks, quotation marks, etc.);
to share impressions of the text: rhythm, emotional perception, logic of scenes, naturalness of dialogues; whether there are difficulties in understanding due to sentence structure
to indicate places where attention "stumbles" or emotional engagement is lost.
It would be great if one person can combine both roles.
A psychological novel with elements of fantasy, 536 pages long. Please provide your deadlines and price.
Thank you.

674 5 0 Good day. My name is Sofia, I have been working with text for over 7 years. I am also a writer, I have completed work on a fictional detective novel of over 600 pages. I personally proofread it, improved the spelling, and enhanced the stylistic perception of the text. In my time, I communicated a lot with literary editors from major publishing houses and learned many professional skills from them.
What can I offer you as a specialist?
A complete cycle of literary editing: from minor spelling and punctuation mistakes to correcting serious stylistic errors. Working on comparisons, metaphors, and other authorial techniques. Optimizing the overall perception of the book by the reader: adding details to objects, characteristics of appearance, and enhancing the atmosphere. (if necessary)
Proofreading and a detailed review of the book: we will discuss what can be improved and what fits harmoniously into the story without editing. Overall impression of the characters, plot, atmosphere, ending, and presentation in general. Together we will achieve a result that any publishing house will gladly accept.
I will always be in touch and provide my comments.
…
If we work well together, I can further offer to be your literary agent, communicate with publishing houses, promote and popularize the book, and achieve decent royalties.
I would be very happy to take on the project.

529 6 1 Hello!
I have carefully reviewed your request. I can perform the final proofreading of your novel after the editing and typesetting — with a fresh perspective, combining both roles: a meticulous proofreader and a reader assessing the emotional perception of the text.
I will check:
• typos, punctuation and technical errors,
• formatting flaws (quotation marks, spaces, line breaks, repetitions, etc.),
• rhythm, logic of scenes, naturalness of dialogues, and overall reader flow.
… Volume — 536 pages (approximately 260–270 thousand characters).
If the text is already in PDF format after typesetting — it may take a little more time (up to 14 days).
-
1000 32 0 Hello, Grow. I combine these two roles, but I specifically focus on not just placing commas and correcting spelling mistakes, but on the plot line, the logic of the narrative, the sequence where the tempo rhythm is disrupted, and attention falters. Therefore, write to me, the genre is not foreign to me. Deadline 30-60 days, Cost 15000 UAH.
Sincerely, Yulia!
