I will proofread your book for grammar, spelling and punctuation
About this Gig
Your manuscript is almost ready. Lets make sure the final details are right.
I provide professional book proofreading for authors who want a clean, polished manuscript before publication, submission, or formatting. I carefully review your manuscript for grammar, spelling, punctuation, typographical errors, capitalization, word usage, repeated or missing words, and consistency while preserving your original voice and meaning.
This service is suitable for novels, memoirs, short stories, ebooks, and other book projects that have already gone through their major editing stages and need a careful final review.
Depending on your selected package, I can also review basic formatting consistency and provide additional proofreading feedback where appropriate.
Please note that proofreading is not developmental editing, line editing, fact checking, plagiarism checking, or AI detection. If your manuscript needs major work on story structure or prose style, a deeper editing service may be more suitable.
Give your manuscript the careful final review it deserves.

FAQ
What does your book proofreading service include?
I carefully check your manuscript for grammar, spelling, punctuation, typographical errors, capitalization, word usage, repeated or missing words, and consistency while preserving your original voice and meaning.
What is the difference between proofreading and line editing?
Proofreading is the final quality check for surface level errors. Line editing focuses more deeply on sentence structure, word choice, flow, tone, and overall prose quality.
Will you change my writing style or voice?
No. I will preserve your writing style and voice. The goal is to correct errors and improve accuracy without making your manuscript sound like it was written by someone else.
Do you proofread both books and ebooks?
Yes. I can proofread book manuscripts and ebook projects, including novels, memoirs, short stories, and other written works.
Can you proofread fiction and nonfiction?
Yes. I work with a range of genres, including literary fiction, romance, mystery, thriller, fantasy, memoir, biography, and other book projects.
Does proofreading include fact checking?
No. Standard proofreading focuses on the written text rather than verifying historical facts, statistics, research, or other external information. Fact checking can be considered separately when appropriate.
Can you check formatting as well?
Basic formatting consistency can be reviewed in the packages where it is included. This is not a full book formatting or typesetting service.
Can you proofread a manuscript that has already been edited?
Yes. In fact, proofreading is most effective when the manuscript has already completed its major editing stages and is ready for a final quality check.
What file should I send?
Please provide the latest version of your manuscript in a clear, readable format. DOCX is preferred when available because it makes it easier to review and mark corrections accurately.
Can you proofread more words than my selected package?
Yes. Additional words can be purchased where offered. If your manuscript exceeds the available options substantially, please contact me before ordering so the appropriate scope can be arranged.
