Proofreading

Proofreading is the final step before publication, catching any lingering errors that may have slipped through. Even after multiple rounds of editing, small mistakes can persist. Proofreading ensures your book is polished and ready for readers. This process checks for:

• Spelling errors (including variations like proofreading/proof-reading, healthcare/health care, blonde/blond)
• Grammar issues
• Punctuation
• Hyphenation
• Capitalization
• Typos
• Missing or extra words
• Unfinished or run-on sentences
• Incorrect word usage

I’ve worked with independent authors post-publication, helping them release revised editions for future and repeat readers.
