The Final Polish
Before your manuscript makes its debut, it needs one last meticulous review. Think of proofreading as the final quality check, ensuring your story is as polished as possible. This stage catches those lingering errors that might have slipped through previous edits.
Here’s what my proofreading services focus on:
- Typographical errors: I’ll eliminate any remaining typos and misspellings.
- Punctuation and grammar: I’ll ensure consistent and correct punctuation, grammar, and capitalization.
- Formatting consistency: I’ll double-check elements like quotation marks, hyphens, spacing, and chapter numbering for consistency.
- Word repetition and omissions: I’ll catch any duplicated or missing words.
This final review provides a safety net, working to ensure your manuscript is error-free and ready to impress your readers.
The Proofreading Process
Before you share your manuscript with the world, it’s essential to have a fresh set of eyes give it a final review. This helps catch any lingering errors that may have been missed during previous edits.
I’m happy to provide proofreading services if I haven’t already worked on your manuscript (through a developmental or line edit). If I have, I’ll bring in one of my trusted editing colleagues to ensure a thorough and objective review.
