A proofread is typically the last step in the editorial process before you publish your book. Its main focus is to ensure your final book is as error-free as possible, through focusing on any typos or formatting/visual errors found on the final proof.
Proofreaders look at the following:
- Inconsistencies in the Table of Contents
- Accuracy and completion of the Copyright page
- Error-checking web addresses, emails, and other resources
- Missing or misplaced fleurons
- Incorrect or missing indentions in paragraphs
- Spelling and punctuation
- Extra spaces
- Any lingering errors leftover from the copyedit
- Low-quality images
Pricing for Proofreading
Project fees range between $500 and $1,500, depending on word count and how much work the manuscript needs.
