Proofreading

The Final Edit: Your Dark Vision, Flawlessly Executed

You've poured your soul onto the page, crafting tales that thrill, terrify, and enthrall. Your world is built on shadows and intense emotions, where every character choice and plot twist matters. Don't let a stray typo or a rogue comma shatter the fragile suspension of disbelief you've so meticulously built. 

My proofreading service is the final check before your work faces publication. It is a detailed, focused process designed to catch lingering issues in grammar, punctuation, and consistency that even the most dedicated author might miss. 



Here's how this service can help:


  • Punctuation Precision: Ensuring every comma, semicolon, and em-dash serves your intended tone and pacing, never distracting the reader. 


  • Grammar & Syntax Scrub: Ensuring your prose flows seamlessly while maintaining your unique, gritty voice. 


  • Spelling & Typo Extermination: Hunting down and eliminating those stubborn typos that managed to slip past prior edits, maintaining the utmost professionalism. 


  • Consistency Checks: Verifying character names, locations, timelines, and terminology remain consistent throughout the entire manuscript, from the first chilling chapter to the final, haunting line.

 

  • Formatting Finesse: Reviewing structural elements like page breaks, dialogue tags, and stylistic inconsistencies to ensure the manuscript is ready for publishing platforms. 


Please Note:


*Proofreading services are only available for copyedited manuscripts*

What's Included?

With the proofreading service you will receive: 


  • one thorough proofread of your already copyedited manuscript with corrections clearly marked for your review and acceptance 


  • one thorough proofread of your book jacket copy or Amazon book description "blurb" (250 word max) with corrections clearly marked for your review and acceptance


  • one hour of follow-up support via email


All edits are made using The Chicago Manual of Style and Track Changes unless otherwise requested.
