Nurturing to publish
Prepare your book for publishing through the delicate art of proofreading fiction.
My service is about getting to know you and your book to polish efficaciously the best version of your novel for market. I’m Hassan Sekafi, a specialist fiction proofreader who is passionate about helping you craft high-quality stories.
Why a genre specialist?
If you’re a speculative (fantasy and sci-fi) or literary fiction author, I specialise in those genres and their subgenres.
Good proofreading complements your novel, providing an alternative to the ‘bluenose to rules’ approach, which may harm rhythm and style.
Excellence at sentence level
The last preparation before your novel is read by readers.
Each word examined meticulously, combing through your narrative and dialogue, attending to clarity, consistency and understanding.

Sincere interest in supporting independent authorship and creativity
Reassurance
Your book is likely your emotional asset and deserves the most competent individual to work on it. I write fiction too. I understand the writing process and the emotional and creative investment involved.
I’m a fully trained proofreader and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. With a background in storytelling across different mediums, I’ve helped clients craft stories that meet their audience’s expectations.
Welcoming all authors
I welcome working with first-time and experienced writers. I’m here to help you polish the best version of your book for publishing. Not to arrest a book's authenticity and curtail the spirit of an author, but to get to know you and your book.
Writing is not a foreign thing but a human thing. Humans seek meaning. Stories are meaningful. It’s an individual act of self-discovery and catharsis, and it's open for all who want to explore.
Kindred spirit
I’m here to build candid relations with authors, so if we aren’t a perfect fit—perhaps your book isn’t ready for proofreading yet—I'll let you know and be honest about how I can help.
Working with the right proofreader and proofreader with the right writer is prime for building a foundation. Our shared interests and appreciation means I ‘get’ your novel, even if your friends don’t.
‘Hassan’s care and level of detail is outstanding. He’s improved my book beyond my expectation without damaging my creative voice. I look forward to working with him again on my next book.’
