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.

Editing Details:
Developmental Editing Components:
- gives your work clarity, purpose, and continuity
- provides structure, content, and overarching themes of your writing
- identifies questions, comments, and concerns that would stand out to a general reader
- looks for inconsistency (names, dates, chapter titles, character’s features, etc.)
NOTE: Developmental editing (including spelling, grammar, punctuation)
should generally be done BEFORE proofreading,
that way proofreading does not need to be repeated.
