As a writer with decades of experience, I understand the importance of clear and correct written communication. Whether for business or creative purposes, if your documents don't have the right stuff, they will never leave the launch pad. 

Proofreading services offer a thorough review of your manuscript or other documents* for punctuation, spelling and grammar. I won't rewrite your work (that's a different service), but I will ensure what you have written is clean and correct.

"Proofreading differs from editing in that it mainly involves looking for errors or omissions rather than improving writing style or tone."

•  Thomas Means, Business Communication (2010)
   

Please remember, proofreading should primarily resolve minor mistakes in punctuation, spelling and so forth, and is the last step before publication. If a proofreading project begins to morph into a copy editing project, I will pause and contact you to discuss the scope of work and if need be, we can agree upon a more appropriate fee structure.

Current Fee Structure (2026)

• Standard Proofreading Rate: $0.022 per word

• Minimum Project Fee: $50 (applies to documents under 2,000 words)

• Rush Turnaround: +25%

Notes: 

* MS Word format is preferred but other document formats can be supported/discussed as needed.​
