Dotting your “i”s and crossing your “t”s.
Have you received an edit which you believe was rushed or inadequate?
Are you creating a second edition of a previously published book? Or just looking to finish what your copyeditor started?
Then this final phase of editing is the right choice for you.
Style sheets included.
Every proofread is a two-pass job, the final pass being a consistency check with your custom style sheet. We’ll review every romantasy name and unique place, before its deemed fit to print.
Every proofread covers:
Punctuation use
Typos
Spelling
Etymology
Emdash versus endash versus hyphen
Text formatting for internal dialogue
Chapter headings
Word formatting
Authors come first.
Proofreading largely consists of track changes in Word, but can include the occasional comment to confirm dialect versus typo, or a note on etymology. Your book is your own, and you have the right to both approve or deny any changes we make.
Cost: .015 cents per word.
Turnaround: one to two weeks depending on length of manuscript.
Please note: a proofread does not include digital formatting. This stage is text editing only. For assistance in digital and print formatting, please see our Formatting Service department.
Editors are available by email for any follow-up questions throughout the process, as well as after. Whether you have a question about the publishing process or want to discuss rules of grammar and punctuation, we are here for you every step of the way.
All first-time clients will receive a complimentary sample edit for the first five pages of your manuscript. This allows our team to insure your book receives the level of editing required at this stage in its journey. We strongly encourage requesting samples from any editor, so you can be sure they’re the right choice for you.
Custom payment plans area available for every service we provide. We understand that publishing is a long term financial commitment, and are happy to work with you to make the cost of putting out your next book a little easier on your budget.
