Proofreading

Nothing puts a reader off like typos.

  • It is then read through to catch inconsistencies and typos.

  • The manuscript is read 3-4 times by 2 different proofreaders. 


LAST STOP PROOF


  • The manuscript goes through 4 grammar software programs. 
  • A proofreader will eliminate any plot holes or typos.
  • Spelling and grammatical errors are fixed.

Our Writers

Formatting

You've probably spent years pouring yourself into your book, paid for editing, agonized over social media, taken a hundred different author photos — All to make you look as professional as possible. Don't let all that hard work go to waste because of an inconsistent margin or a missing page break between chapters. 


Formatting can be one of the trickiest parts of self-publishing and the one most indie authors would recommend outsourcing to a professional.


  • Align and arrange title pages. Including dedication, copyright, and acknowledgements.
  • Add and link the table of contents to chapters (only required for eBooks). 
  • Embed fonts.
  • Consistent font size, line, and paragraph spacing.
  • Removal of all tabs and double spaces.
  • Formatting chapter breaks.
  • Sized to publication specifications.
  • Bleed options available for pictures (eBook and paperback).
  • Author’s name and book title within the header.
  • Dedicated page for numbering to start.
  • Stylized chapter beginnings.


eBook and paperback options available.
