•  Has your manuscript almost ready for publication? Do you need to check for spelling and grammar issues before publishing your book?  Can you (understandably) only afford one level of editing? 

• Proofreading is the final stage before publication. It focuses on spelling and grammar. 

• I focus on four main aspects while proofreading:

• • Grammar: This is standard proofreading. I will be checking for any grammar issues throughout the text. ​

  • Spelling: I will ensure that the same spelling is used throughout the text (US or UK English as well as terminology)

  • Formatting: Are there double spaces? Are the numbers consistent throughout? Are the use of em dashes and hyphens consistently?

  • Affordability: This is the editing service to get if you can only afford one. I try to make sure that this service is inclusive enough that when the manuscript is done, it could be published. 

• What’s included:

  • A Style Guide:​

    • The style guide will outline the style choices made in the document.

    • This will also include all of my comments on common concerns in the manuscript, such as repetition, action sequences, and overused words.

  • In-text Comments

    • Comments throughout the story

    • Usually around 10-20 per page

  • In-line Suggestions

    • Suggestions for grammar and spelling corrections​​​

  • Two read-throughs

    • I read the manuscripts twice for grammatical editing to ensure that the manuscript is as error-free as possible!

• $0.01 per word (£0.0085 per word) 

This price is much lower than the standard price for two reasons (1) I believe in providing professional editing at a more affordable price and (2) after I provide feedback there is an option to leave an additional tip. This is not expected but is a way for me to continue to provide lower prices!
