PROOF-READING

Whether you're a indie-publisher or a traditionalist wanting to be agent-ready, this service is for you.


AFTER EDIT PROOF   


Your prose has been perfected by a professional editor, now it's time to prepare it for publication.


What we'll do


  • Seek out and correct all inconsistencies.
  • Meticulously check and correct your grammar, punctuation, and spelling while maintaining your style.
  • Make adjustments to narrative flow to perfect readability.
  • Most proofreaders will stop there, not us! We go the extra mile and read through one last time (in a different format to keep the eye fresh) as if we are a reader, just to make sure nothing slipped through.

Request a free sample proofread

If you're unsure where to begin or what the right next step is for your book, we're here to help.

You can ask as many questions as you like by email, or set up a video call if you'd rather talk it through.

There's no pressure and no cost. Just friendly, honest advice to help you figure out your next step.
