Proofreading

Proofreading is the last step before formatting and publishing, and it ensures your book or story is as perfect as possible.

I will do two passes of your manuscript in Google docs or Word, as this ensures I catch the most typos, extra spaces, or small mistakes throughout your work.

​

I will use track changes so you can see everything. You'll be in control by accepting or declining my suggestions. Please ask questions if you wonder why I'm changing something. I'm happy to share current grammar and punctuation practices, but upholding your voice as an author is incredibly important.

Alpha Reading

This service is for writers and authors who are working on a manuscript and need insight on if it's progressing well.

​

In this service, I will read through whatever you have drafted, if that's five chapters or fifty. I expect this manuscript to be rough. I'm not looking for typos; I'm looking at your story, your characters, and the flow of your plot. I will also offer tips for strong writing, especially through providing examples of active sentences.​

Proofreading Third Pass Add-on

Formatting can introduce new errors into a manuscript.

I quickly learned that having one more proofreading pass of the fully formatted ebook will ensure near perfection.

​

Please note that this is an additional pass and should not be the main form of proofreading for your novel.

​

If you already have a proofread document but want a second pair of eyes on the fully formatted ebook, this is the service for you.

Or bundle it with my main proofreading service to ensure your novel sparkles.

​This would be $50 for a 100k formatted ebook.

Beta Reading

This service is for writers who have a completed manuscript but want feedback on it before pursuing additional editing, like line edits.

​

This is not a developmental edit.

What you can expect is one full reading pass of your manuscript with a lot of constructive and positive feedback.

I'm going to point out strengths and then reveal areas where the plot could be tweaked or the sentence structure could be even more active and interesting.

This service specializes in feedback for both the story and writing best practices.
