About this Gig
*Proofreading is the LAST proof round before you self-publish or submit to a press. If self-publishing, your manuscript should be formatted for publication. Does NOT include suggestions/feedback or substantive editing.
You've put together a poetry manuscript & are ready to submit OR self-publish. There's just ONE more thing: PROOFREADING!
I'm an editorial associate for Yellow Arrow Press with 12+ years of experience writing, copyediting, & proofreading book manuscripts, lit mags, web content, & legal documents.
As a published poet with 5 self-published poetry books, I know how easy it is to miss that extra space between stanzas or the "peek" that should be "peak," especially in your own work. I also appreciate & understand the nuance between error & creative choice. An extra set of eyes will give your manuscript the final polish needed to hit publish.
I will proofread your manuscript for errors in:
- Grammar
- Capitalization
- Spelling
- Punctuation
- Formatting
Includes covers + front & back matter.
Please send your manuscript as a PDF (preferably formatted for publication if self-publishing) or a Google/Word doc. Ill return 1 copy showing track changes + a clean copy for your use.

FAQ
Do I have to send my manuscript as a PDF?
No, but if you are self-publishing, I highly recommend formatting your manuscript for publication BEFORE you move forward with a final round of proofreading. A lot of changes will occur when you transfer your manuscript from a word processor to your formatting software.
Why PDF?
Formatted manuscripts are generally exported as a PDF when uploaded for self-publishing.
What if I'm uploading my manuscript as a Word doc?
In this case, feel free to send your manuscript as a Word doc (with the recommendation that it's formatted for publication).
