I have a set of printed books that I need converted into clean, editable digital files. The task is straightforward data entry, but accuracy matters: every word, paragraph break and any bold or italic styling present in the original pages must appear exactly the same in the typed version. You’ll be working from clear, legible prints, so no deciphering of handwriting is required—just solid, consistent copy-typing in English at roughly 40 wpm or better. A steady typing speed is important, yet I value precision over raw speed; please proof your work as you go. Deliverables • A separate Word or Google Doc for each book, faithfully typed • All bold and italic text preserved; no other layout elements are necessary • Final files free of spelling errors and double-checked for completeness I’ll provide high-resolution scans as soon as we start, plus a simple naming convention to keep chapters organised. Let me know how soon you can begin and your estimate for completing the first book, and feel free to mention any previous copy-typing projects you’ve handled.

Hi, thanks for the detailed brief — really helpful to know exactly what's expected. I can start right away once you share the scans and naming convention. For a typical book chapter (assuming standard length, ~3,000–5,000 words per chapter), I'd estimate roughly 1–2 days for a first pass with full proofreading, depending on page density and formatting complexity (footnotes, multiple bold/italic runs, etc.). Happy to share a progress update after the first chapter so you can confirm pacing and formatting style meet your expectations. I haven't done large-scale copy-typing projects through this platform yet, but I have strong experience with detail-heavy, format-sensitive document work — including structured resume/profile formatting and content writing where preserving exact styling and structure mattered. I'm comfortable working in Google Docs or Word, applying consistent bold/italic styling, and proofreading carefully as I go rather than rushing through. If it helps, I'm happy to type up a short sample page first (no charge) so you can check accuracy and formatting before committing to the full project. Looking forward to getting started!
