Copy Editing Jobs

I have a 62-page Microsoft Word file in which every term that needs defining is already highlighted. I now need each of those highlights converted into an internal link that jumps straight to a glossary positioned at the end of the same document. Inside that glossary, the definition must be followed by active links (or cross-references) back to every page where the term appears, so the reader can navigate in both directions with a single click. Word’s built-in bookmarks, hyperlinks, or cross-reference features are all fine as long as they work reliably in the final .docx. Scope of work • Turn every highlighted term into a one-click link to its glossary entry. • Build the glossary after the main content, listing each definition once. • Under each definition, s...

My English-language Wikipedia page is fully up to date, but the Italian version is missing whole sections and uses outdated headings. I want the two pages to mirror each other in structure and content, all while staying within Wikipedia’s formatting rules and sourcing policies. The work I’d like you to carry out is straightforward: copy the current, cited information from the English article and integrate it into the Italian article, rewriting where necessary so the prose reads naturally to native Italian speakers and every reference uses the correct citation templates.

I have completed a French language translation of my popular science book about the health benefits of wine consumption [], and now need it polished and made Amazon-ready. Your first task is a thorough copy-edit in French: tighten grammar, punctuation, and stylistic consistency while respecting my voice.

I have three legacy SCORM courses that must be rebuilt from the ground up inside Zoho Trainer Central. All source content is ready in Word and PDF (files are 165 KB, 110 KB, and 45 KB respectively), so you can copy-paste into an AI creator directly while adjusting wording for clarity. The AI can adjust each Chapter for style and appearance. However it can NOT adjust the meaning of the material. I do not want AI to re-create the courses. I want AI to FORMAT the new courses. Once each chapter is converted, you will instruct AI to create a 1 minute audio file that will be gated at the beginning of each chapter (user must listen to it). AI will also re-create quizzes within each chapter. These are simple quizzes that can be made up of True/False or Multiple Choice. The quizzes can be distri...

I already have drafts produced by ChatGPT and similar tools, but they still read a little stiff and machine-like. I need a talented writer who can take each 1,000–2,000-word draft and reshape it into smooth, engaging copy that feels genuinely written by a real person. The articles revolve around the craft of writing itself—tips, techniques, and industry insights—so you should be comfortable with that topic and able to add the occasional illustrative example or anecdote. The end goal is purely informative; no sales pitch, just clear value for readers who want to improve their own writing skills. What I’ll hand over: • The original AI-generated article in Google Docs or Word • Any notes on voice, target audience, or subheadings I’d like emphasized W...

What I need from you is full-cycle editorial leadership—shaping the voice, planning monthly themes, commissioning and polishing stories, and making sure each piece flows into the next so readers can’t put the magazine down. You’ll work closely with contributing writers and designers, tighten copy, verify facts, and maintain consistency in style, length, and tone. Deliverables • An editorial calendar for th...

I have a collection of text that needs a careful copyedit to tighten language, fix grammar, and ensure overall clarity.

I’ve written roughly the first half of a Mandarin-language personal-development book and now need a developmental editor to help me take it from “interesting notes” to a cohesive, compelling read. Your main mission is to challenge and refine my ideas and themes, highlight gaps, and suggest stronger angles or stories that will resonate with readers who enjoy self-improvement titles. Beyond idea development, I’m completely open to structural input. Feel free to recommend re-ordering chapters, merging sections, or adding missing bridges so the narrative flows naturally from problem to insight to action. I’m less concerned with fine-tuning grammar at this stage; depth, clarity, and reader engagement come first. I work in Word with Track Changes, but Google Docs ...

Clarity, correctness, and a tone appropriate for business use are essential.

What I need back • A tracked-changes version of the manuscript with all substantive suggestions. • A brief editorial memo summarizing big-picture fixes, recurring issues, and next-step recommendations...

I have a non-fiction manuscript between 20,000 – 50,000 words that now needs professional polish and a clean, bookstore-ready layout. The text itself requires thorough copy editing—grammar, flow, consistency, and fact-checking where obvious issues arise—followed by full formatting for a standard 6"x9" print trim size (or a comparable trade paperback size you recommend).

I’m preparing a research paper for submission and would like a seasoned editor to give it a final polish. The manuscript is complete, but it needs a critical eye on structure so every section flows logically, ideas transition smoothly, and the overall argument remains coherent from introduction to conclusion. Clarity and a consistently professional tone are essential. While my main priority is flow and coherence, I’ll appreciate any incidental fixes you spot for grammar, punctuation, or minor formatting issues. A light originality scan is also welcome to confirm nothing accidental slipped through, though it shouldn’t dominate the engagement. Please tell me briefly about similar academic or scholarly documents you’ve refined in the past—experience working wit...

I have a self-help book, translated from Hindi into Kannada, that now needs a proofread and light edit before it heads to layout. The file is well over 90,000 words, so endurance and an eye for detail are both essential. Your core task is to remove every last bump—grammar slips, spelling errors, punctuation glitches and awkward sentence constructions—while keeping the author’s original meaning intact. The tone must stay consistently formal throughout, yet still warm and motivational in keeping with the genre. Because I am not certain whether any unintended regional variations have crept in, I will rely on you to flag and standardise vocabulary wherever necessary so the final draft reads naturally to a broad Kannada audience. Please show me a sample of previous long-...

Please realign the embedded flow-chart so it sits neatly within the text, and bring every page element—headings, tables, figures, margins, and spacing—into one consistent style. MLA is the required referencing system. I need a full review of all in-text citations and the reference list to ensure they meet current MLA guidelines...

I have finished the manuscript of a nonfiction book and now need it professionally prepared for Amazon KDP. The text already reads well, but I want a fresh editorial eye to make sure every reference is accurate, nothing is plagiarised, and the final files meet KDP’s technical guidelines for both eBook and 6 x 9 print paperback and Hard cover. Word count is about 30 000. Citations about 29. File is in .docx format. Here is what I’m after: • Copy-edit and line edit for clarity, flow, grammar and consistency. • Check every citation and reference for factual accuracy; flag anything that needs my input or additional sources. • Run a plagiarism scan (Turnitin, Grammarly, or comparable) and share the report. • Format the interior twice: an EPUB that passes ...

I have completed a first-draft Hindi version of my Marathi book and now want it polished into smooth, reader-friendly prose. The manuscript needs a meticulous sweep for grammar and spelling slips, plus thoughtful rephrasing wherever the literal translation sounds stiff or unclear. Readability and natural flow in Hindi matter more to me than word-for-word fidelity, yet the essence of the Marathi original must remain intact. You will receive the current Hindi file (Word) along with the original Marathi PDF for reference.
