Proofreading

Proofreading

Proofreading is the process of reviewing and fixing any errors within the final draft of your manuscript, ensuring the text is as consistent and accurate as possible. Having your work professionally proofread is an essential part of the process, picking up any additional errors after editing and to give your manuscript a final polish before moving forward toward publication.

Proofreading service includes:

• Correcting grammar, paragraph breaks, spelling, and punctuation.
• Consistency and accuracy (for example, capitalisation and punctuation).
• Correct application of narrative and dialogue (layout).
• Use of track changes, which is a useful tool and will allow the author of the work to accept or reject any changes I have made. In addition, track changes provide the ability to add any comments or suggestions for change for the author to consider.

Proofreading fees

In line with industry best practices, pricing starts from £8.00 per 1,000 words, with a minimum fee of £100.00 for proofreading any text under 12,500 words. However, it is crucial to note that these are starting prices and are subject to evaluation based on the complexity and specific needs of your manuscript. By adopting this approach, I can ensure that my services are tailored to your unique needs while maintaining transparency and fairness in my pricing.
