About this Gig
Proofreading is difficult.
You've spent endless long nights finishing your manuscript, and your eyes are so used to the words on the page that they can miss small mistakes. However, your readers won't be so forgiving - and that's where I come in.
I have worked on over two hundred orders as a beta reader, offering an additional 'typo report' service, and I've noticed that even in the best manuscripts, mistakes slip through the cracks. You need a keen, human eye for detail - sometimes Grammarly just won't cut it.
If you've just put down your novel after your final major revision, been fighting with Microsoft Word's 'Editor' over your comma placement, or are getting the pre-publication jitters over not knowing whether a sneaky misspelling is hiding on page 273, don't panic. I'm here to find typos and correct errors without sacrificing your style and voice.
My packages work as follows:
- Basic Package: Thorough proofreading of a book up to 50,000 words long.
- Standard Package: Thorough proofreading of a book up to 125,000 words long.
- Premium Package: Thorough proofreading of a book up to 200,000 words long.
I do not use AI to proofread; I use my human editorial eye and experience.

FAQ
Can you use Microsoft Word's Track Changes?
Yes, this is my default method of proofreading. I can also proofread through Microsoft Word's comments, if requested.
Which file types do you accept?
I work primarily with Microsoft Word files (.doc, .docx). I can proofread PDF files, but I will have to use comments for this and the process takes longer with manually inputting each comment, so I highly prefer Word files.
Can you work with American/Canadian/British English texts?
I can fit my proofreading to any English dialect, especially American, Canadian and British as I'm a native British English speaker and I've completed writing and editing work in both American and Canadian English. I have beta-read books from Nigerian, Australian and Japanese authors, among others.
What will the delivery look like?
Unless requested otherwise, I'll deliver two versions of your manuscript: one with Track Changes enabled so that you can clearly see the edits, and one 'clean' copy without Track Changes with the edits implemented. If commenting is requested instead, the delivery will be one commented-on file.
