What is proofreading?
Proofreading involves going through the manuscript line by line, correcting any errors relating to:
- Spelling
- Grammar
- Punctuation
- Repetition
- Inconsistencies
Unlike copyediting it does not involve any suggestions relating to the flow or tone of sentences.
What is the process?
- I will carry out a free 1,000 word sample proofread
- This gives me insight into the amount of proofreading needed and also shows you how I work, to ensure you’re happy with my editing style
- After completing the sample, I can give you an accurate quote for the full proofreading service
- Once I have the full manuscript, I’ll suggest all the corrections I think are needed in the document
How much does it cost?
- It varies depending on the amount of corrections needed
- This is why I carry out the free 1,000 proofreading sample
- To give you an idea, it can be between £0.007 and £0.009 per word

My editing always comes from a place of honesty and encouragement. My aim is to help writers get their books to the best level they can be.
