Assess whether my fiction proofreading service is right for you. 

Choosing a competent proofreader that is right for your book is the first step before you commit to a service. What you’re looking for is the delicate balance of sentence-level work that doesn’t hinder rhythm and style.   A sample proofread will illustrate if my full proofread service is for you. I’ll polish 1,000 words of your literature at sentence level.

Deliverables

I'll proofread 1,000-word sample of your literature, examining each word and sentence. I’ll carefully attend to:

• Homophones and homonyms
• Widows, orphans and runt (short lines)
• Double words (‘and and,’ ‘the the,’ etc.)
• Dialogue punctuation
• Standard and consistent spelling, grammar and punctuation
• Spacing: letter, word, line and paragraph
• Standard formatting: indentation, paragraph style, section breaks 
• Comments where appropriate to explain decisions
• Consistency in design of text and image layout
• Highlighting of stacked hyphens
• Uniform hyphenation

• Pagination and chapter sequencing
