Proofreading is usually the last stage of editing right before publication. The manuscript has already been copy edited, so this is just one last pass to make sure no typos have been missed or unintentionally introduced. This type of editing is especially helpful for businesses who just want a second set of eyes to check their website copy or other promotional material.

If you’re working on a historical fiction or non-fiction manuscript, and you’d like some help with research or fact-checking, I can do the heavy lifting for you—especially when it comes to all of those library books! I will collect reputable sources and compile a comprehensive research report for you, complete with a bibliography so you can reference everything accurately.

I am happy to provide a free sample edit of up to 1,000 words from your manuscript. This allows you to see the quality of my work up front, and I can get a more accurate idea of the type of editing your project would benefit from the most.

I will also provide you with a quote for the full cost of the project, and keep you updated on my progress throughout the editing process so there are no unpleasant surprise costs at the end.

I understand that handing over your manuscript to an editor can be a scary prospect, but it’s also very exciting! You’ve put many hours of hard work into your manuscript, and I consider it a privilege to be entrusted with helping you take it one step closer to publication.
