As an author, you’ve taken a great deal of time and care to craft your book, but you may not realize how many mistakes can still crop up. Even as you re-read it, it's easy for your mind to skip over familiar sentences and miss out on small but crucial mistakes.
Failing to notice and fix these can make you look unprofessional as an author, plus it’s an expensive headache to correct errors post-publication. That’s why you need a proofreader to help you on your self-publishing journey. A professional proofreader will find even the most microscopic errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation in your book. More importantly, they can give you peace of mind to know that your work has been thoroughly checked by a second pair of eyes, and will be spotless when it’s finally published.
