PROFESSIONAL PROOFREADING: THE FINAL FRONTIER FOR YOUR SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL
The final check before publication. I read your sci-fi novel for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and formatting inconsistencies only. Nothing else is touched.
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE:
- A careful proofread of your manuscript
- A tracked-changes document in MS Word
- A final, clean copy with all corrections applied
- A style sheet of applied conventions
- One revision round
I WILL CORRECT:
- Spelling
- Punctuation
- Grammar
- Formatting inconsistencies
YOUR REVISION ROUND: After delivery, you'll make small changes: a reworded sentence, a renamed ship. Send them back and I'll check that altered text before you publish. It isn't a second full read, and it doesn't cover new sections.
PLEASE NOTE: A proofreading pass is for finished manuscripts only. It does not include developmental editing, rewriting, line-level changes, coaching, or calls.
IDEAL FOR AUTHORS WHO:
- Have completed developmental and copy editing
- Want a professional-quality presentation
- Are ready to publish

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?
Turnaround time depends on your manuscript's word count and my current workload. I'll provide an accurate timeline after reviewing your project details.
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.
