What’s included.
Spelling and punctuation check
Check the stable version for remaining spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.
Consistency review
Review agreed conventions such as capitalization, names, and repeated terms.
Marked corrections
Present corrections in a usable format without turning proofing into a structural rewrite.
Built around
your starting point.
For authors whose content and layout are nearly final and need a last error-focused pass.
Proofreading checks the agreed version systematically. A clear correction list and version control help keep approved text from being replaced by an earlier draft during production.
Talk through your brief ↗Bring your questions.
And a little context.
For authors ready to look at a draft with fresh eyes. A representative sample and a clear account of your concerns help identify the appropriate editing level.
Clear decisions at each checkpoint.

Your questions, answered.
When should proofreading happen?
After substantive editing and, ideally, after layout. Major rewrites made later usually require another proofing pass.
What should I send for a quote?
For book proofreading, share your goals, any existing material, your intended audience, and the approximate word count. Mention any deadlines so feasibility can be discussed.
What will I receive from book proofreading?
The proposed scope covers spelling and punctuation check, consistency review, marked corrections. Your written agreement confirms the file formats, handoff requirements and any exclusions before work starts.
How are revisions and timelines agreed?
We review the material and scope first, then agree on milestones and feedback rounds in the proposal. Send consolidated comments at each review stage; additional work or a changed brief is quoted separately.
Can I combine this with another service?
Yes. Connected stages can be discussed together, with a clear boundary between each deliverable. Explore the related services below or describe the full project in your inquiry.
