Proofreading is the final polish your manuscript needs before publishing. I’ll carefully review your book to catch typos, grammar mistakes, spelling errors, and small inconsistencies so your story reads smoothly and professionally. Proofreading doesn’t change your writing style, it simply ensures your book is clean, correct, and ready for readers.
Ready to publish, but need someone to double check for stray commas, typos, or other errors in your formatted manuscript? My proofreading service is an affordable way to make sure your novel is ready to hit the shelves!
I offer comprehensive proofreading for books in the following genres:
When you order developmental editing, I’ll reach out within 48 hours (Tuesday through Friday) to confirm your manuscript details. Once I’ve received your manuscript, I’ll get to work examining the story and making notes where needed.
Here’s what I’ll be looking at during the proofreading process:
This service is great for authors who have a draft and need their work polished, but need help with the story itself, rather than the technical elements. If you need line editing or developmental editing, I offer those services, too.
Yes! As a steamy writer myself, I understand it can be difficult finding editors to work with 18+ content. I offer the same standard of editing on erotica as I do with all other genres, and I'd be happy to lend a hand!
Turn-around depends on both the length of works being edited, and the complexity of the edits required.
Whilst I strive to turn in the work as quickly as possible, please reach out to me if you have a hard deadline - I can meet strict deadlines so long as I have a heads up.
Please note that I have an order queue, and that you may need to wait a week or two before I can get to your order. As mentioned above, send me an email with your deadlines - and I'll see what I can shimmy around in my diary (rush fees can also be paid for urgent delivery, please let me know via email if this is something you require).
I can use either Microsoft Word or Google Docs to complete your proofreading. Please let me know which software works for you, and I can make sure I use the appropriate one.
In most cases, I will default to Microsoft Word - these files will be delivered back to you as a .docx file.
Proofreading checks spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, and consistency. It does not involve rewriting or restructuring your sentences.
After your manuscript has been fully edited and formatted, proofreading is the very last step before publishing.
Yes! Software can miss subtle errors and style issues. A human proofreader ensures your book looks professional.
