Hire the best proofreaders in the United States


So you’ve just put the finishing touches on your manuscript, put it through the paces of a thorough development edit, and procured a stunning book cover design for it. What else could you possibly need to do for your future bestseller at this point? We’ve got three words for you: hire a proofreader.


Proofreading is the final stage that every book must undergo before it ends up on the bookshelves. You can’t just hand your manuscript to beta readers and expect them to do the job of a professional.


Hiring a freelance proofreader guarantees that all remaining errors are caught and language style is flawless — say goodbye to punctuation errors, spelling typos, and grammar or formatting mistakes. If you’ve ever had to read a document or piece of writing littered with mistakes, you’ll know that these issues are far from insignificant. To ensure your book comes across as professional in a competitive field (and make marketing your work easier later on), hire a proofreader to lend their skills and expertise to your project.


To hire a freelance proofreader in the US, search no further: the best proofreaders are on Reedsy. Look through thousands of editor profiles on our marketplace, where you can study a proofreader’s past experience and read client reviews. We vet and accept only the top 3% of freelance proofreaders, so that we can ensure that we’re matching you with the best talent in the publishing industry. Sign up to Reedsy today to connect with a professional, get a free quote, and improve the accuracy of your book.
