Full proofread
A full proofread ensures your book is ready for publishing at the highest merit.
About this service
After all editorial passes, a full proofread is the final stage before publication. This is where I come in and gently polish your novel to excellence, examining each word and sentence, so it’s ready to be read by your readers.
If no professional editorial work has touched your book, then this service isn’t for you. It’s best practice to get your book professionally edited before proofreading.
Cost: Asses sample and project parameters / Format: Microsoft Word doc or PDF
