Now that your manuscript has been professionally copyedited, you’re reading for a proofread.
Proofreading is the final read-through before publication. It focuses on typos and egregious errors that the average reader will notice.
What’s included?
The edit:
A close read of your manuscript, examining the final details such as:
- Typos
- Spelling errors
- Homonyms / Homophones
- Paragraph indentation and formatting
- Dialogue punctuation
- Erroneous spacing correction
- Consistent paragraph and section breaks
- Accuracy and consistency of design elements (text styling, images, etc.)
The deliverables:
You’ll receive the following:
- A carefully proofread manuscript using MS Word’s Track Changes and Commenting features
- A clean copy of the manuscript with all changes accepted
- A style sheet listing your preferences such as spelling variations, capitalization, and punctuation choices
