Proofreading
Between you, your creative vision, and publication? The absolute final touch is that flawless proofread. I’m here to catch those last sneaky typos and tweaks, ensuring your manuscript is spotless and ready to launch—without touching the deeper stuff that’s already been handled.
As a romance and fantasy girlie who dives into romantasy, erotica, and sci‑fi worlds, I get how those tiny details (like a misspelled spell or inconsistent alien tech) can pull readers out of the story. I’ll hunt down grammar slips, punctuation hiccups, spelling errors, and any lingering formatting quirks, all while respecting the voice and structure you’ve already polished. Think: eagle-eyed final pass that makes your book feel pro-level perfect, from the first page to the epic finale.
Proofreading is your very last stop before publication—no other editing happens here. Developmental, line, and copyediting should be done and dusted beforehand (psst, check out my copyedit and proofreading bundle for a seamless combo). After this, your story’s good to go, whether you’re hitting up agents, small presses, or self-publishing straight to your fans.
