A final read for the typos everyone else missed
Proofreading is the last check before publishing. We catch typos, missing words, punctuation slips and inconsistencies, so readers don't find them in their reviews.
What we check
- Spelling, typos and missing or doubled words
- Punctuation, including dialogue punctuation
- Consistent spelling of names, places and terms
- Capitalization, numbers and hyphenation
- Chapter headings and page numbers on print proofs
- Changes marked so you can see every fix

Questions about Proofreading
Can you proofread my print proof PDF?
Yes. We mark corrections directly on the PDF so your formatter, or our team, can fix them.
Is proofreading enough for a first draft?
Usually not. A first draft needs editing first. Send a chapter for a free check and we'll tell you.
