Proofreading
When you’ve finished your final draft (or querying manuscript!) and your eyes are tired from staring at your story for so long, that’s where I come in. I’ll find and correct mistakes such as typos, spelling and grammar mishaps, repeated words, omitted words, and other objective errors —and, better yet, you’ll be able to accept/reject each edit to maintain complete control over your final story.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Spelling, grammar, and typo corrections
- In-line comments (with sources!) for any edits that may be unclear
- Corrections checked with The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster
- Proofread manuscript with corrections made in Track Changes (and comments to explain any trickier edits)
- Two weeks of unlimited email support to ask questions about any corrections
- BONUS for Swoonworthy Services clients: Proofreading of blurb or back cover copy free of charge when sent with the manuscript

TESTIMONIALS
“I always try to send over my manuscripts in the best condition possible, but every time Sarah manages to find something I’ve missed—usually multiple somethings. She has a meticulous attention to detail, and is truly a joy to work with. I know my books are polished and ready to publish after they’ve been in her hands.”
~ Lewis Jorstad
