To ensure your book is ready to hit the presses (or the digital publisher), a proofreader will step in and double-check everything. They'll make sure that your book is free from spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and other issues that could spoil a reader's enjoyment of your writing.

Proofreaders read your manuscript (online or in print) before you officially publish the book and they can provide your story with feedback. Proofreaders can be friends, family or acquaintances, but perhaps even better people who can look at your story objectively. This way you can find proofreaders on Sweek, via a call or via Facebook groups. Be clear about what they get in return. Do they receive a free copy? Or just an eternal thank you? Tip: thank your proofreaders somewhere at the start of or at the end of your book; they will certainly appreciate that!
