Proofreading

Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process and should be completed after all other book editing services are finished. ​It addresses grammatical, spelling, and typographical errors. Proofreading includes changes to make the prose objectively correct and does not address style or substantive issues. Proofreading will correct issues related to spelling, punctuation, grammar, and basic formatting.

In most cases, I recommend a line edit prior to a proofread to ensure your prose is tight, strong, and ready for a final pass. After the proofread, your manuscript will be prepared for interior layout.
