Proofreading
Your manuscript has been edited, polished, formatted, styled, and it’s ready to be published. This is the last editing stage to ensure no errors were introduced during previous editing passes or formatting, and is focused on spelling, mechanical, and grammatical errors.
Things I will look for include:
- Spelling mistakes, incorrect word usage, language inconsistencies (British/Australian/American English)
- Missing words, duplicate words, juxtaposed text
- Punctuation errors, capitalization errors
- Consistency in font size and style, bold or italics, numbering systems, bullet point styles
- Layout issues: formatting errors, header and footer consistency, placement of tables, bad line or page breaks, spacing, page numbers, table of contents, and more
- Simple grammar errors
What you’ll get:
- Two versions of your book page edits (Track Changes and clean)
- A style sheet outlining the specific details of your manuscript including character names, locations, terms, grammar rules and exceptions, etc.
- Email follow-up for questions
