A rectangular sign with rounded edges, light purple background, and the word 'PROOFREADING' in capital black letters.

You’ve done the heavy lifting. The argument’s solid, the structure’s in place, and the tone feels right. Now it’s time for the last step: catching those lingering typos, formatting quirks, or inconsistencies that might undermine your work.

Starting price: £350, depending on length and turnaround time

A humorous text-based graphic with a light purple background that states, "Nobody wants to hit publish and then discover 'pubic' where 'public' should be." An emoji with hands covering its face is located in the bottom right corner.

When to hire a proofreader

  • Your document is fully edited and laid out (or nearly final)

  • You’re self-publishing and want a polished PDF or ebook

  • You need a second set of eyes before submission or printing

  • You’ve looked at your draft so many times you can’t see it clearly anymore

What I deliver

  • Corrections for spelling, punctuation, and grammar

  • Consistency checks for formatting, numbering, capitalisation, and usage

  • Minor formatting fixes or flagging of layout issues

  • Tracked changes in Word or mark-ups in PDF (depending on format)

  • Optional follow-up call

Feeling too close to the manuscript to spot any lingering typos?

Ready to hit send but nervous about avoidable errors?

Preparing to upload files to KDP or IngramSpark or another self-publishing platform?
