Proofreader needed for teen workbook — 27,500 words

Remote Full-time
I am looking for an experienced proof reader to work on a completed teen workbook ready for self-publication. This person needs to understand work with teens, as the voice of the book is slightly different to many textbooks out there. About the book: You Saw Me For A Reason. Now Read Me. is a practical life skills workbook for teenagers aged 11-16. It covers mindset, breathing, resilience, self-talk, confidence, grief, bullying, social media, peer pressure, and finding your purpose. It is approximately 27,500 words across 20 chapters plus front matter. The book is written in a warm, direct, conversational tone — deliberately informal in places. It is not an academic text. The voice is intentional and should be preserved throughout. I am not looking for the writing style to be changed — I am looking for errors to be caught and slight improvements to be made. What I need: Spelling and punctuation errors corrected Grammar checked — bearing in mind the intentionally informal tone Consistency checked throughout — names, terminology, cross references between chapters, formatting Any factual references flagged if they appear questionable A clean final document returned in Word format with tracked changes so I can review and accept each correction What I don't need: Rewriting Restructuring Changes to voice or tone Developmental editing Experience required: Proven proofreading experience — please share your portfolio or examples of previous work Experience with teen, educational, or wellbeing content preferred Familiarity with UK English essential — this is a UK publication I have attached a chapter to get an idea of the style and the layout. Timeline: Open to discussion but ideally completed as soon as possible. Budget: Open to discussion for the right person. Please include in your proposal: Examples of similar work you have proofread Your availability and estimated turnaround time Confirmation that you work in UK English Any questions you have about the project
