Proofreading

Even the most skilled editors still need to have their writing proofread by a professional.

​Don't skip the most important step.

One of our skilled editors will seek and destroy:

spelling errors

We'll correct any spelling errors with a little help from Mr. George Merriam, Mr. Charles Merriam, and Mr. Noah Webster (you know... the creators of Merriam-Webster's Dictionary)

word choice errors

It's our job to understand the subtle nuances of the English language so you don't have to! We'll find those funny word choices and make recommendations for improvement.

grammatical errors

Grammar is a challenge for everyone, so with our trusty Chicago Manual of Style in hand, we'll hunt down all of your grammar errors and make recommendations for resolution.

mechanical errors

These mostly include punctuation...!!!???
​"Including quotation marks!" she added enthusiastically.

consistency

We'll check that use of style, terminology, and formatting are consistent throughout the manuscript.

clarity issues

Your editor will examine your manuscript for clear sentence structure, logical paragraph organization, and clear language.

All edits are done using Microsoft Word Track Changes.
We are not able to use alternative methods of tracking edits.
