I will professionally copyedit or proofread your document using chicago style
Professional Copyeditor and Proofreader, Chicago Manual of Style
About this Gig
I proofread and copyedit business documents, marketing materials, websites, and blog posts to Chicago Manual of Style standards the industry benchmark used by publishers.
Every delivery comes as a Microsoft Word file with Track Changes visible, so you see and approve every correction. You receive two files: the tracked version and a clean, ready-to-publish version.
What I fix: grammar, spelling, punctuation, usage, consistency (spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, formatting), and clarity issues flagged with professional queries where meaning is unclear.
How I work: software-assisted first pass, then a full human read of every single word. AI tools catch mechanical errors; trained judgment catches the ones machines miss.
Scope is quoted on exact word count. Additional words available via gig extras.

FAQ
What file format do you deliver?
Microsoft Word (.docx) with Track Changes, plus a clean version with all changes accepted. PDF or Google Docs on request before ordering.
Which style guide do you follow?
Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.) by default. If your organization uses AP, MLA, or a house style, message me with the details and I'll apply it.
Can you handle UK/Indian English spellings?
Yes. I work in both American and British/Indian English conventions. Tell me which variant you need before I begin; otherwise I follow the dominant spelling already in your document.
Will you rewrite my content?
The Basic and Standard packages correct and polish your existing text without altering your voice. Restructuring and heavier intervention is in the Premium (substantive edit) package. I don't ghostwrite — your document stays yours.
What happens if my document exceeds the word limit?
Order the nearest package and add the "additional words" gig extra, or message me for a custom quote. Extra words are billed at a fixed per-1,000 rate — no surprises at delivery.
