Proofreading

Proofreading is the final step before publication and is a last look over the manuscript to correct typos and errors in punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

Once your manuscript has been thoroughly edited and is nearly ready for publication (finally!), a round of proofreading is necessary before your book is sent off to be printed. Proofreading serves as the last chance to catch any pesky typos or errors in punctuation, spelling, and grammar that have somehow managed to squeak past countless other rounds of editing. Note that because of the limited scope of proofreading, not all manuscripts may be suitable for this service.
