Editing, proofreading, fact checking

Prepare your manuscript for publishing with professional services.

Line and Copy Editing

Grammar and more

If someone takes off their hat in the third paragraph, I’ll make sure that they were wearing a hat in the first one. I’ll fix noun-verb agreement problems and pesky apostrophes. If there is a better word to express your idea, I’ll suggest it.

Proofreading

quality control

Before you invest in book design, make sure the text document you provide to your publisher is letter perfect. Proofreading ensures that all corrections were made and did not introduce any new mistakes. I’ll catch spelling errors, extra paragraph returns, and other typos and format problems.

Fact Checking

versimilitude

Be certain that the details of your story stand up to scrutiny. I will make sure that the Seventh Arrondissment is located Rive Gauche. I will check the date of the last lunar eclipse in Myanmar.

First Reader
