Why Hire a Proofreader?
You've completed your manuscript, report or article, now what? How can you ensure that your work is technically and grammatically correct? Trust a good manuscript proofreader to do this for you.
There is nothing that says "amateur" like misspellings, poor grammar or disconnects in a text. Your hard work can instantly tumble on the weakness of a few words. A book reviewer can quickly write off sloppy writing without ever noticing your content. Fortunately, it is so easy to head off those costly mistakes before they happen by hiring a proofreader to give your manuscript that profesional polish.
Make sure your words carry forward your messages, both express and implicit.
We can provide all the basics. We will proofread for:
- correct spelling
- correct grammar
- correct punctuation
- correct word usage (Do you know when to use "that" and when to use "which"?)
Of course, "correct" does sometimes include slang or colloquialisms, depending on the nature of your audience and the subject of your book.We will proofread for correct usage of vernacular, jargon or other forms of alternate word usage.
Simple manuscript proofreading rates start at $18/1000 words, with a minimum $100 charge. This price does depend on the condition of your text. A short sample of your work will ensure that your estimate is accurate.
