FAQ
I've checked my manuscript several times. Can you still find mistakes?
Absolutely! Writers often overlook errors because they're familiar with their own words. I'll carefully review your manuscript for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and consistency issues that may have slipped through previous checks.
Will proofreading change my writing style or author's voice?
No. Your voice matters! I'll correct language errors while preserving your original tone, meaning, and writing style. I won't unnecessarily rewrite your sentences or change your creative choices.
Can you proofread my book before I publish it on Amazon KDP?
Yes! I proofread fiction and nonfiction manuscripts before publication, helping you catch distracting errors before readers see your work. Please note that proofreading doesn't include Amazon KDP interior formatting.
How will I know what changes you've made to my manuscript?
You'll receive a Word document with Track Changes enabled so you can review the corrections. I'll also provide a clean copy with the proofreading changes applied.
What if my manuscript contains inconsistent character names or spelling?
I'll look for inconsistencies in names, capitalization, spelling, and punctuation. If something is unclear, I'll flag it for your review rather than guessing.
Do you use AI to proofread my entire book?
I offer attentive proofreading rather than simply running a manuscript through an automated grammar checker. I review corrections in context to protect your intended meaning and writing style.
Is my unpublished manuscript safe and confidential?
I'll treat your manuscript as confidential and won't intentionally share or publish your work. If you have specific confidentiality requirements, please message me before ordering so we can discuss them.
What's the difference between proofreading and book editing?
Proofreading focuses on surface-level errors such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency. Book editing may involve improving sentence structure, clarity, flow, or organization. If your manuscript needs extensive rewriting, please ask about my editing service.
Can you proofread a manuscript longer than your Premium package?
Yes! Please send your total word count and a sample before ordering. I'll review the scope and discuss a custom offer with an appropriate price and delivery time.
What do you need from me to get started?
Please provide your manuscript in an editable Word document (.docx), your total word count, and your preferred English style (US or UK). You can also share any specific concerns or spelling preferences.
