Proofreading

The Quality Check​​​​​​​

Proofreading is the lightest form of editing. It’s no less meticulous; if anything, a proofread requires greater attention to detail to catch any leftover mistakes from previous edits. Spacing, forgotten commas, typos, and other such little things are checked in this round.

 

​

BE WARNED:

Many writers assume that what they need is a proofread when their book actually needs a thorough copyedit. I’ll be frank about that upfront. I’ve had to stick Band-Aids over festering words before, but I’m not doing that with you. You only get a proofread if you need a proofread. If you need something else, we’ll take out that antibiotic cream and get started.

This is for you IF

​​​​

  • You’ve already had your book edited by a professional editor

  • You just need a final scan to make sure there are no typos, blatant grammar errors, or formatting issues

  • Your book is a genre I work with (you can check that here)
