Proofreading

Your final polish before publishing

Proofreading is the last step of the editing process before your book goes out into the world. I’ll catch lingering typos, grammar slips and formatting inconsistencies so your hard work shines without distraction.

'Those amendments were extremely helpful and have helped to improve the book immeasurably.'
 
— Self-published middle grade author

Who it’s for

Writers who’ve completed editing and are looking for a clean, professional finish before printing or publishing.

What you get

  • Two full proofreading passes

  • Definitive errors in your manuscript corrected

  • A bespoke style sheet that tracks all stylistic choices

How it works

  1. You send your edited, final draft

  2. I proofread it from start to finish – twice!

  3. You get a spotless^ manuscript, ready for publication

Things I'll look for​

 

  • Consistency in text and formatting

  • Correct use of vocabulary

  • Style, spelling, punctuation and grammar issues

  • Capitalisation and hyphenation use

And if that wasn't enough...

I'll proofread your cover and blurb for free before you send it to your printer!

Prices £11–£15 per 1,000 words*

​

* Prices are based on manuscripts of 50,000 words and over. For short stories and children's books, please contact me for a tailored quote.

^Although I strive to make your manuscript as clean and error-free as humanly possible, it is impossible to guarantee 100% perfection.

Want to see if we're a good fit first?

Handing your story over to an editor is a big deal, and you want to feel comfortable it's in good hands before you go all in. That's why I offer sample edits of 2,500 words for a small fee. If you then go on to book the full edit with me, I deduct the sample edit fee from the cost of the full edit.
