Proofreading

Truer Voice.

What It Is:

“The final pass before the big send-off. One last sweep for peace of mind.”

After completing all the editing stages needed for your story, proofreading is the last step before your book is published.

By honing in on any little things that might have slipped through the cracks, you’re protecting your professionalism and the quality of your book.

What It Feels Like:

  • Complete Peace of Mind: You won’t have to wonder if something is “off.” Your manuscript will be professional, ready to go.
  • Ready-to-Publish Confidence: With everything double-checked, your manuscript is ready for its final destination.
  • "I'm done. I'm ready." Every word, every sentence, every detail will be just the way you envisioned it.

Do you have a little voice saying, “AI could just do this …”

I get it. You’re weighing the cost and wondering if an AI tool would do just as good a job. But will it feel right?

I’ve seen what AI can do to good stories. It sands off the edges, flattens the spark, and leaves something that reads “okay-ish,” but it doesn’t breathe. It has no soul.

You want a real editor who respects your voice and keeps your story human.
