About this service
Choosing a competent proofreader that is right for your book is the first step before you commit to a service. What you’re looking for is the delicate balance of sentence-level work that doesn’t hinder rhythm and style.
A sample proofread will illustrate if my full proofread service is for you. I’ll polish 1,000 words of your literature at sentence level.
Cost: £65 (1,000 words) / Format: Microsoft Word doc
Deliverables
I'll proofread 1,000-word sample of your literature, examining each word and sentence. I’ll carefully attend to:
Homophones and homonyms
Widows, orphans and runt (short lines)
Double words (‘and and,’ ‘the the,’ etc.)
Dialogue punctuation
Standard and consistent spelling, grammar and punctuation
Spacing: letter, word, line and paragraph
Standard formatting: indentation, paragraph style, section breaks
Comments where appropriate to explain decisions
Consistency in design of text and image layout
Highlighting of stacked hyphens
Uniform hyphenation
Uniform capitalisation
Pagination and chapter sequencing
