I am looking for a UK-based proofreader to review two children’s activity books (ages 9–11). One is football-themed, and the other is a general activity book. Both are designed to be fun, engaging, and educational. Only one book will be ready initially, with the second to follow shortly after. Scope of Work This is not an intensive edit — the focus is on catching errors, improving clarity, and ensuring everything makes sense for the target age group. Light-to-medium proofread (not a full copy-edit). The books are already fairly clean drafts.
The proofreader will be responsible for: Checking spelling, grammar, and punctuation (UK English) Ensuring consistency in tone, language, and formatting Verifying clarity of instructions for ages 9–11 Checking all answers for accuracy (maths, quizzes, true/false, logic, etc.) Completing mazes, word searches etc Ensuring questions and solutions make sense Flagging anything confusing, unclear, or awkward Light consistency checks across repeated formats
Format & Delivery You will be provided with a PDF of the full book (approx. 64–100 pages) All edits must be made using PDF mark-up tools (comments/annotations) The annotated PDF should be returned with clear, actionable corrections
Test Task (Paid) Before awarding the full project, I would like you to complete a short paid test: Proofread 5 sample pages Mark up directly on the PDF Check spelling, clarity, and answer accuracy Fee: £10
Project Fee £50 per book Potential for a second book shortly after Opportunity for ongoing work if a good fit
Timeline First book: ready 1-2 weeks Turnaround required: 2-3 days
Ideal Candidate: UK-based Native English speaker Strong attention to detail Comfortable checking both language and answer accuracy Experience with children’s content preferred Comfortable working directly on PDFs
To Apply Please include: Relevant proofreading experience Examples of similar work (if available) Confirmation that you are happy to complete the £10 test Your availability over the next few weeks
