I have a set of 16 printed picture-books aimed at Czech-speaking children aged 3-5. Each story has already undergone one full native review; now I just need a meticulous final pass focused on grammar, punctuation and any lingering awkward phrasing. Here is what I need from you: • Read each printed text line-by-line and flag even the tiniest slip—missing háček, inconsistent spacing, rogue comma or stylistic mismatch. • Note every change directly on a scan/PDF or clearly list page-and-line references so the printer can implement them easily. • When a page is flawless, simply write “bez úprav” so I can sign it off with confidence. No rewriting of style or vocabulary is necessary unless an error affects clarity for a preschool audience. The goal is a clean, zero-defect set of Czech-language books ready for press. If you are a native Czech editor with a sharp eye and can turn around the full batch promptly, I’d love to send over the first two titles as a mini-test before releasing the rest. I will provide an excel spreadsheet with the texts. One tab is one book. I need the changes to be done directly in the excel.

Hello, I'd be happy to help with your Czech children's book proofreading project. I understand that this is a final quality-control pass, not a rewrite. My focus will be on identifying grammar, punctuation, spelling, diacritics (háčky/čárky), spacing, consistency, and any minor wording issues that could affect clarity for children aged 3–5. I will work directly in your Excel file, reviewing each worksheet (one book per tab) carefully and marking only the necessary corrections. If a section is error-free, I'll clearly indicate **"bez úprav"** so you can approve it with confidence. I'm happy to complete the first two books as a trial before proceeding with the remaining titles. I work carefully, communicate clearly, and can deliver the reviewed files promptly while maintaining consistent quality across all 16 books. Please send the Excel file whenever you're ready, and I'll begin the mini-test immediately.

Dobrý den, rád Vám pomohu s finální korekturou 16 českých dětských knih. Chápu, že cílem není text přepisovat, ale provést pečlivou závěrečnou kontrolu gramatiky, interpunkce, pravopisu, formátování a všech drobných nesrovnalostí tak, aby byly knihy připravené k tisku bez jediné chyby. Posledních 6 let spolupracuji s vydavatelskou společností, kde je korektura rukopisů, copyediting a příprava publikací k tisku součástí mé každodenní práce. Jsem zvyklý kontrolovat text řádek po řádku, odhalovat i ty nejmenší chyby a zapisovat opravy přehledně a srozumitelně. Mohu: provést důkladnou korekturu všech knih přímo v dodaném souboru Excel, zaznamenat všechny opravy přímo do jednotlivých listů, označit bezchybné stránky nebo knihy jako „bez úprav“, zachovat původní styl textu a zasahovat pouze tam, kde je to skutečně potřeba, dodat kvalitní práci v dohodnutém termínu. Kromě zkušeností z vydavatelství jsem také profesionální softwarový inženýr, certifikovaný kreativní autor a zkušený grafický designér, což mi dává smysl pro detail a vysoké nároky na kvalitu finálních materiálů. Rád nejprve zpracuji první dvě knihy jako zkušební úkol a poté budu pokračovat se zbylými tituly. Těším se na spolupráci.
