With proofreading, our editors will read through your document or manuscript to find and correct any errors that have been missed during previous drafts or earlier stages of the editing process. These are generally spelling and punctuation errors, but may also include errors in grammar. Proofreading is a more minimal form of editing which does not seek to drastically change the style or content of a document or manuscript. Consequently, it usually occurs at the end of the writing and editing process, when the document is essentially finished, and merely needs another, detailed reading by a new set of eyes.

We recommend proofreading if:

Your writing is in a relatively complete state, almost ready for submission or publication, and does not need significant changes to the style or sentence structure.
