Proofreading
You’ve completed all the edits and revisions on your manuscript and are about to hit send to the publisher—but wait! Better take one last look.
Proofreading is the quality control check before your work goes public. I will read your manuscript with meticulous attention to detail so that you will feel confident your work is polished and professional.
The final proofread ensures that no detail is overlooked.
​
In your proofread, I’ll focus on:
Standard and consistent spelling, grammar, and punctuation
Spacing and formatting (paragraph and section breaks, indentation, headers, footers, and pagination)
Consistent style (capitalization, conventions, use of numbers, dates, and times)
Widows, orphans, and short lines
Format: Microsoft Word
​
Sometimes, determining which level of editing a manuscript requires can be difficult.
