Proofreading Service.
A final quality check before publication or submission.
You can use the Proofreading Service as a final, but essential, sweep of your text after it has already been through a professional round of editing. Writers choose this service to have their texts checked for any remaining inconsistencies, typographical errors and presentation faults.
Expect a meticulous proofreading process.
The Proofreading Service ensures that your text is finished and in its best shape for publication or submission. Think of proofreading as a final quality control process, in which I comb through your text to ensure meticulous consistency, completeness and presentation.
-
Consistency.
The internal consistency of language (e.g., short forms, terminology).
The elimination of any typographical errors.
Conformity to the relevant guidelines or house/set style.
Verification of the final copy against previous copy (i.e., to check for any missing elements, insertion of any changes).
-
Completeness.
The inclusion and correct progression of textual elements (e.g., chapter or section order).
Complete and accurate cross-referencing.
-
Presentation.
The visual aspects of the text (e.g., consistent colours, fonts, styles).
The general neatness of the text (e.g., checking for widows, orphans or rivers, unnecessary spacing).
Submit for proofreading in multiple file formats.
Depending on your requirements, you can choose for your text to be proofread in Microsoft Word or through the markup and comments features in Adobe Acrobat.
