Before Design and Upload Prep
Formatting does not fix grammar, punctuation, or consistency problems. Proofreading first protects the quality of the book before it moves into layout, cover production, and publishing preparation.
What You Get
A Cleaner Manuscript
A Cleaner Manuscript
Before Production Starts
This service is for authors whose draft is mostly complete but still needs a cleanup pass before design. That means line-level corrections, consistency checks, and a cleaner manuscript foundation so the finished book does not carry obvious errors into the final files.
Line-by-line proofreading
Grammar, spelling, and punctuation correction
Consistency checks for names, headings, and recurring terms
Tracked changes returned in Word format
Follow-up revision round within scope
Not Included
Developmental editing, structural rewriting, ghostwriting, and deep content strategy are not part of the base proofreading scope.
Starting Price
Starts at $49 for standard manuscripts within scope, with heavier cleanup quoted separately.
Proofreading Questions
Book Proofreading FAQ
Do I need proofreading before formatting?
Usually yes. A cleaner manuscript leads to a cleaner design process and reduces unnecessary file reopening later.
Is proofreading the same as editing?
No. Proofreading focuses on surface-level corrections. Heavier structural or developmental editing is a different scope.
Will I receive tracked changes?
Yes. You receive the manuscript with tracked changes so you can review corrections before the book moves forward.
