Overview
Your book is almost there—let’s make it flawless.
You’ve poured your heart and soul into your manuscript, and now it’s time to ensure it’s polished, professional, and ready for publication. A final proofread (often called a copyedit in US publishing) eliminates typos, inconsistencies, and other errors that can pull readers out of your story.
For over fifteen years, I’ve helped authors and publishers refine their books, working across a wide range of fiction and nonfiction—from Big Five releases to indie bestsellers. As a detail-obsessed proofreader and an expert in The Chicago Manual of Style, I’ll make sure your manuscript is clean, consistent, and publication-ready.
Whether this is your debut novel or your tenth book, I’d love to help you put the finishing touches on your work. Let’s get your book ready for the world!
