Proofreading takes place after your book is laid out. At this point, your manuscript is near perfect and it’s almost ready for publication. Your proofreader creates a style sheet and reviews your manuscript for any lingering minor errors, formatting issues (widows, orphans, stacks, etc.) and helps you truly perfect your book for publication.
How we work
Send your formatted manuscript or document to use for a careful review. We will create a style sheet if you do not have one. If you have one, we ask that you send it with your formatted manuscript. After your proofreader is finished, you will receive a copy of the style sheet, the manuscript with any relevant markup, and a markup sheet indicating where modifications need to be made in the original document.
Rates
Proofreading rates vary on the style of writing and on average run between $0.02 and $0.04 per word.
