A grammar engine will “fix” dialect, lyric, and emphasis. We will not.
Machines flag; a proofreader decides. That is how you keep voice and still catch typos.
Names, hyphenation, and number rules stay consistent from chapter 1 to the endnotes.
Proofreading is last, not first. We will tell you if the file still needs a line edit.
We watch for issues that explode in reflowable ebook as well as on a printed page.
Proofreading assumes structure and line work are already done.
If plot holes or broken sentences remain, we send it back to editing first.
Lock spelling variants, character names, and heading patterns.
Spelling, punctuation, quotes, and spacing.
Timeline crumbs, repeated words, and layout leftovers from revision.
Only the calls that need a human — not 400 tracked changes for taste.

What proofreading is — and what it is not.
No. Editing changes structure and sentences. Proofreading catches remaining errors after those decisions are made.
We follow the variety you choose and keep it consistent. Tell us US or UK at kickoff.
Yes. Proofing on layout catches line breaks, stacked words, and running-head mistakes a Word file never shows.
A clean, already-edited manuscript moves quickly. A raw first draft is not a proofreading job.
