FAQ
What's included in your proofreading service?
My service includes checking grammar, spelling, formatting, exercise clarity, terminology consistency, citations, disclaimers, time estimates, and referenced content verification. I ensure all technical elements are correct while maintaining the accuracy of your self-help content.
How long does it take to proofread my manuscript?
Turnaround time depends on your manuscript's word count and my current workload. I'll provide an accurate timeline after reviewing your project details.
Do you edit content or just proofread?
I focus solely on proofreading—checking for technical accuracy, consistency, and proper formatting. I don't provide content editing, restructuring, or rewriting services. If your manuscript needs editing, I recommend completing that process before proofreading.
What format should I submit my manuscript in?
Please submit your manuscript in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. This allows me to use tracked changes and comments, making it easy for you to review all corrections.
Do you provide feedback on the content itself?
My service focuses on technical accuracy rather than content feedback. However, I will flag any unsupported claims, missing citations, or areas where disclaimers might be needed for your self-help content.
Why don't you work with AI-generated manuscripts?
AI-generated content typically requires extensive rewriting and content editing rather than proofreading. These manuscripts often have structural issues, inconsistent terminology, and conceptual problems that go beyond the scope of proofreading services.
What happens if you find major issues in my manuscript?
If I discover significant issues that might affect the proofreading process (like missing sections, incomplete exercises, or major consistency problems), I'll pause the work and contact you immediately to discuss.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, I'm happy to sign a standard NDA to protect your manuscript's confidentiality. Please send this before sharing your complete manuscript.
What if my word count exceeds your packages?
For manuscripts over 60,000 words, please contact me before ordering. I can create a custom offer based on your exact word count and timeline requirements.
How do you handle specialized terminology in self-help books?
I maintain a terminology sheet for each project to ensure consistency throughout your manuscript. I'll query any terms that need clarification to ensure accuracy in your specific self-help niche.
