Proofreading is the last language check before a manuscript is typeset or uploaded. It is not a rewrite. It is a careful pass that catches the errors editing can still leave behind.
Our proofreaders review spelling, grammar, punctuation, hyphenation, capitalization, number style, and consistency in names, places, and terminology.
You receive a clean, marked file that is ready for formatting or a final author review. The goal is a professional page that does not distract the reader.
This service is ideal after line editing and before interior layout. If your pages are already designed, our Book Proofreading service reviews the typeset proof instead.
We work to your preferred style — Chicago, AP, or a house style sheet — and keep a running list of decisions so sequels and new editions stay consistent.
