Your one-stop shop for pristine manuscript revision.

Proof reading is an essential part of the writing process, whether you are going with traditional publishing or self-publishing.

Take your manuscript to a higher level of excellence by having your book proof-read, edited, and restructured. Success is driven by the little things: correcting small grammatical errors and/or removing redundant sentences that can place an author at a higher standard of authorship. Every piece of writing should be reviewed by a third party before publication. Someone who reads the manuscript for the first time is better able to spot errors.

Create a good impression when you make that first submission/publication

As a published author and editor, we strive to maintain your author’s voice while guiding you to improve your writing. Linda is an  experienced English-speaking editor, available to make your book publish ready!

As your proof reader, we will read your book from the view of a prospective customer, and polish your work to a high standard. Your manuscript will be sent back to you quickly and at an affordable price.

Our proof-reading service identifies inconsistencies, redundant sentences and/or words, paragraph and sentence structure, repetition, clarification, and a comprehensive report, then commenting on the condition and quality of your manuscript.

Linda is passionate about creating long lasting relationships with authors and helping them achieve their goals.
