Copy Editing Jobs

I have a two-page children’s fairy tale written in Pakistani that must be rendered into polished, formal English. The storyline, character names, idioms, and folklore references all need to stay exactly as they appear in the original; please resist the urge to Westernise or over-explain them. Time is critical. I’m ready to award immediately and expect the completed, proof-read translation back within one hour of acceptance. Please work in an editable format—Word or Google Doc—so I can copy-edit and publish straight away. Fluency in both Pakistani and English is a must, and you’ll need to be online right now to hit the deadline.

The finished document must read smoothly, follow APA rules for language mechanics, and be ready to submit to my university and to journals without further editing.

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. Once the text is re-written in fluent French, I need it laid out to meet Amazon KDP specifications for both Kindle and paperback versions, including proper front matter, table of contents links, page numbering, and embedded fonts where required.

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 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’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 ...

I have a non-fiction manuscript between 20,000 – 50,000 words that now needs professional polish and a clean, bookstore-ready layout.

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-...

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.

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.
