FAQ
What is the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading focuses on correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Editing goes deeper — improving sentence clarity, flow, structure, and consistency. Proofread Lite covers proofreading only. Edit Pro and Manuscript Elite include both proofreading and full line editing for a polished res
What file format should I send my manuscript in?
Please send your manuscript as a .docx file. This allows me to use Microsoft Word's tracked changes feature so you can see every correction I make and choose to accept or reject each edit individually before finalising your document.
How do tracked changes work?
Tracked changes is a Microsoft Word feature that highlights every correction I make in a different colour. You can review each change, accept it with one click, or reject it if you prefer your original wording. This gives you full control over every edit in your manuscript.
Do you proofread all book genres?
Yes. I proofread and edit fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, self-help, business books, children's books, and poetry. Each genre has its own conventions and I apply the appropriate style standards to match your book type and target readership throughout.
Will you change my writing voice or style?
No. My job is to correct errors and improve clarity — not rewrite your book. I preserve your unique voice and style throughout the editing process. Every suggestion I make is tracked so you always have the final say on what stays and what changes.
What if my manuscript is longer than the package allows?
If your manuscript exceeds the word count for your chosen package, message me before ordering with your total word count. I'll provide a custom quote based on your exact manuscript length so you get the right level of service at a fair price.
