Proofreading

Your manuscript is complete and has been revised—it's almost ready for publication. But before you hit send, one final check ensures your work is as professional, polished, and error-free as possible. 

​

Proofreading is the final step in the editing process, catching any lingering typos, inconsistencies, or formatting issues so your readers stay immersed in your story—without distractions. 

​

What this service includes:

• Grammar, spelling & punctuation—Eliminating typos, misplaced commas, and other small but important errors.

• Consistency in style & formatting—Ensuring uniform capitalization, number usage, and date and time formatting. 

• Spacing & layout—Checking for consistent paragraph and section breaks, indentation, headers, footers, and pagination. 

• Widows, orphans & short lines—Adjusting layout to prevent awkward breaks that disrupt readability. 

​

What you'll receive:

A fully proofread manuscript in Microsoft Word with tracked changes, so you can review every correction.
