FAQ
What is the difference between proofreading and line editing?
Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process. I focus exclusively on correcting mechanical errors such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typographical mistakes. I do not rewrite sentences, change your authorial voice, alter the plot, or provide developmental story feedback.
Do you check or format dialogue punctuation?
Yes! Properly punctuating dialogue tags and actions beats is incredibly important in fiction, and it is fully included in this proofreading service. I will ensure all quotation marks, commas, and periods are technically flawless.
What file formats do you accept, and how will I see your changes?
Please submit your manuscript as a Microsoft Word document (.docx) or Google Doc. I deliver the final product using Microsoft Track Changes or Google Suggested Edits, allowing you to see every single correction made and accept or reject them as you please.
What if my manuscript word count is slightly over the tier limit?
Please message me before ordering! If your word count falls between the tiers or exceeds 1,500 words, I will gladly send you a custom offer tailored precisely to your exact word count, so you only pay for what you need.
Do you proofread non-fiction documents as well?
While this specific gig is optimized for the unique mechanical and dialogue needs of fiction, I am happy to apply the same precise attention to detail to non-fiction documents. Feel free to shoot me a message with your project details!
