I will proofread your science fiction novel

Proofreading is the final polish, focusing on surface-level errors like spelling, punctuation, and formatting. Editing is a deeper review of content, structure, and style that should occur before proofreading.

Turnaround time depends on your manuscript's word count and my current workload. I'll provide an accurate timeline after reviewing your project details.

Yes, I can proofread according to any major English style guide and regional preferences. Please specify your preferred style when ordering.

Please submit your manuscript in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. This allows me to use Track Changes for transparent revisions.

While one round of proofreading is better than none, I recommend at least two rounds for optimal results, especially for longer novels. Each pass tends to catch different types of errors and ensures the highest quality final manuscript.

I provide clear grammatical explanations for all editorial decisions, citing authoritative style guides where relevant. While you have final say over your manuscript, my recommendations aim to align with industry standards and reader expectations.

Yes, I can proofread previously published works for new editions or re-releases, helping catch any lingering errors.

Previous proofreading, regardless of quality, doesn't reduce the time and expertise required for my thorough service. Each manuscript requires full attention to maintain professional standards.
