The last line of defence before print.

A final proofread of the entire manuscript catches technical or overlooked errors before your book goes out into the world.

About Proofreading

How We Help With Proofreading

Even the best-edited books pick up typos, missing words and formatting slips. Our proofreaders give your manuscript a fresh, meticulous read so nothing embarrassing reaches your readers.

We proof both the manuscript and the final typeset pages, checking spelling, punctuation, consistency, page numbers, headers and more.
