Proof-reading
The Last Read
For an accepted publication or paid-service scope, proofreading is a final pass for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency after substantive editing and before the approved book goes live.
What Gets Fixed
Typos, tense drift, inconsistent names and dates, broken formatting, and anything that makes a finished book read like a draft.
What Doesn't Get Touched
Your voice, your opinions, your structure, and your deliberate rule-breaking. If a sentence is wrong on purpose, it stays wrong on purpose.
When It Happens
It happens only when included in the accepted publishing or paid-service scope. The agreed manuscript version, word limit, deliverable, revisions, and schedule control.
