Proofreading
As the last hurdle of the editing process, proofreading catches remaining errors that hung on through or were born during revisions. This could be anything from your run-of-the-mill punctuation errors, duplicate chapter numbers, formatting mistakes, or broken links. Proofreading is vital in ensuring a squeaky-clean reading experience, especially for those who are writing blog posts, newsletters, website content, promotional content, instructional guides, or resumes.
​
If you’ve hired me for copy editing (or line editing) already for your project, the cost of proofreading on that project will be reduced.
Discounts are also available for first-time clients and weekly proofreading jobs.
​
My proofreading service (pricing starts at $.014 per word) checks for typographic errors such as:
-
page and chapter number hiccups
-
incorrect or inconsistent formatting
-
missing, broken, or duplicate sentences
-
grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors
​
Proofreading does not involve rewriting or critiquing content or providing a style sheet. If this is what you’re looking for, please refer to my copy editing service page.

“To be an artist and particularly to be a writer, what you are doing is a twofold process. And to put it very simply, it's a process of creating. And then it's a process of fixing or of editing.”
~ Neil Gaiman
