I am seeking a native Malayalam editor to refine a completed 200-page manuscript. The story is a realistic, atmospheric narrative that needs to be polished for a simple, cinematic reading experience. IMPORTANT: Strictly No AI. I am looking for a 100% manual, human edit. I will not accept any work processed through AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.). I need a human who understands the "soul" and rhythm of the Malayalam language and can maintain the emotional core of the story. Main Objectives: Fix Narrative Flow: Ensure the story moves smoothly with a consistent, movie-like pace. Remove Repetition: Identify and delete repetitive descriptions, phrases, or scenes to make the story tighter. Simple Cinematic Style: Maintain a simple, modern Malayalam style. The prose should be visual and direct. I do not want "heavy" or professional literary language; it should feel like watching a movie. Consistency Check: Ensure character actions and plot details remain consistent across all 200 pages. Specific Constraints: Prohibited Vocabulary: I have a strict list of specific words and names that must not appear in the manuscript. You will be required to replace these with suitable alternatives provided during the briefing. Confidentiality: The plot and title are confidential and will be shared only with the selected freelancer. Tone: The style must remain realistic and grounded. Requirements: Native-level fluency in written Malayalam. Proven experience in editing fiction or scripts with a focus on pacing. Extreme attention to detail regarding Malayalam grammar and modern typesetting. A commitment to manual work without the use of artificial intelligence. Deliverable: A polished, final version of the 200-page manuscript in Word format.
