Proofreading
Proofreading comes after all the other editing stages are finished. It’s the last chance to fine-tune the manuscript before formatting and publishing, one final look to catch and correct any sneaky little errors that slipped past the previous editing stages.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
I’ll review your manuscript searching for the following errors:
- Stray typos

- Inconsistent fonts, italics and bold text
- Basic formatting errors or inconsistencies
YOU RECEIVE
