What is Proofreading?
In essence, proofreading is when the proofreader double-checks the text for errors, both typographical and the most egregious of basic grammatical, along with problems with typesetting and formatting.
In the editing stages during the publication process of a book, proofreading is the last stage a book goes through before going to press. This is not the time to worry about sentence structure and finer grammatical points; it is strictly a last pass for glaring errors in the text to clean up anything missed by previous rounds of editing.
What Types of Books Do I Proofread?
Generally, I will proofread any book that can be fit into my schedule. I enjoy proofreading as an opportunity to help the client get that final coat of polish on the book before it is released. I will (and have) proofread both fiction and nonfiction in a wide variety of genres, including romance of all types, horror, science fiction, fantasy, urban fantasy, speculative fiction, thrillers, suspense, cozy mysteries, memoirs, self help, history, and more.
