Congratulations on reaching this point! Now it is time for the final cleanup. That’s where I come in. My proofreading service will help polish up your manuscript to make it as enjoyable for your readers as possible.

I respect how difficult it is to trust someone with your work. Hopefully, I can ease your concern when we have our initial chat, which occurs before we mutually decided to work together. Even after the contract is signed, I’ll do my best to make you feel comfortable working with me. When you are my client, my email is open to you 24/7 for any concerns.

My Proofreading Service Includes:

  • Pre-edit chat.
  • A complete and thorough proofread.
  • Fix spelling, capitalization, hyphenation, punctuation, and grammar.
  • Check for formatting issues.
  • Note any inconsistencies within the text.
  • Note any possible offensive language.
  • Either fix and/or make note of any incorrect word choices or word usage
  • If a style sheet is not provided, I will create one that outlines decisions made about treatment of words and any other areas of interest, including character, timeline, and location lists in fiction novels. A style sheet helps with consistency now and in the future.
  • Post-edit support that includes a chat via Zoom or email to answer any of your specific questions and the ability to email me for up to six months with simple editorial questions.
Still unsure?

The good news is that I provide a free sample. You send me a sample of 1,500 words, and I will proofread it. This gives you the chance to get a feel for how I work. It’s a test drive before you buy.

If even after the sample edit you aren’t sure, I can proofread your first 10,000 words. This can be beneficial if you are preparing to send out a sample of your manuscript. This small proofread will include a style sheet and editorial report.

What's the cost?

Rates start at $0.008/word for proofreading. A final quote will be given when I complete your free 1,500 word sample. Additional fees may need to be applied for a quick turnaround time or more complex work.

My rates include two passes of your manuscript.

You can compare my rates against industry standard at www.the-efa.org/rates/

I’m happy to work with your budget. We can figure out a package that fits your needs and budget.
