FAQ
What's the difference between editing and proofreading?
Proofreading is the final polish, focusing on surface-level errors like spelling, punctuation, and formatting. Editing is a deeper review of content, structure, and style that should occur before proofreading.
How long does proofreading typically take?
I maintain carefully structured delivery times based on manuscript length: 7 days for 50,000 words, 10 days for 60,000 words, and 14 days for 80,000 words. This ensures thorough, professional-quality proofreading of your work.
Do you use any special software for proofreading?
My primary method is manual line-by-line review. I use editing assistance tools like Grammarly and ProWritingAid to help identify potential errors, but every correction is reviewed and applied by me personally. All edits are delivered using Microsoft Word's Track Changes.
Can you proofread in British/American/Australian English?
Yes, I can proofread according to any major English style guide and regional preferences. Please specify your preferred style when ordering.
What format should I submit my manuscript in?
Please submit your manuscript in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. This allows me to use Track Changes for transparent revisions.
Is one round of proofreading enough?
While one round of proofreading is better than none, I recommend at least two rounds for optimal results, especially for longer novels. Each pass tends to catch different types of errors and ensures the highest quality final manuscript.
What if I disagree with some corrections?
I provide clear grammatical explanations for all editorial decisions, citing authoritative style guides where relevant. While you have final say over your manuscript, my recommendations aim to align with industry standards and reader expectations.
Can you proofread a previously published book?
Yes, I can proofread previously published works for new editions or re-releases, helping catch any lingering errors.
My work has been proofread before, but I'm not happy with the results. Can I get a discount?
Previous proofreading, regardless of quality, doesn't reduce the time and expertise required for my thorough service. Each manuscript requires full attention to maintain professional standards.
What happens after proofreading is complete?
You'll receive your manuscript with all changes tracked, plus a clean version. I remain available for questions during implementation.
