Proofreading, while a smaller step, is the final essential job to do before publication. I provide meticulous, detail-oriented proofing to ensure your work is clean, accurate, and free from errors, giving your work the professional polish it deserves.
This service focuses on catching typos, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, punctuation issues, and language inconsistencies, as well as checking for formatting problems and basic layout irregularities.
Proofreading does not alter your content or voice - it simply ensures that nothing distracts the reader from your intended message. Whether your manuscript is being prepped for print, digital publication, or submission, my goal is to give you the confidence and knowledge that your work is polished to a professional standard.
The first step in any project is always to agree on the particulars. Once we have completed that, we can do a preliminary interview to share any existing resources and outline the project plan and timeline.
We can then begin the interview process properly, which usually consists of fairly informal discussions around the topic or story to be told. I prefer to do these sessions in person where possible.
From there I get started typing up my notes and constructing the text, though the main refining happens in the editing and rewriting phase, which comes after the initial draft.
