Paid on delivery
Hi I need someone to proofread/edit a 90,000 words manuscript The manuscript is an English translation of a contemporary Arabic commentary on the Quran (already translated. The manuscript is 100% English). Although the manuscript contains many quotations from the Quran, the quotations themselves are not be modified or edited; only the commentary and rest of text. The 90,000 words is an estimate of the commentary and other text (the full manuscript with Quranic quotations comes to 124,000 words). Familiarity with proofreading or editing theological text is a plus. Mastery of English and it being your first language is essential. Knowledge of Arabic language is not necessary. Thank you
