* in-depth look at structure, content, facts, and pace
* review at the paragraph, chapter, and book levels
* continuity: voice, tense, pronouns, capitalization...
* errors corrected in spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure -- keeping in mind that my style is conversational and friendly, rather than formal and grammatically exact
* final check over all the revisions made to the manuscript

I have a very short deadline of 3-5 weeks to get a manuscript to the Upgrade to see actual info will be helpful if, after review of your recommendations, you could also do some of the revision yourself, so writing ability and ghostwriting experience will be very helpful.

> Trello for project management
> Upgrade to see actual info for any face-to-face meetings if needed
