Proofreading for book publishers and packagers

Proofreading is one of the core skills I offer. I am aware that proofreading is the vital quality-control stage of publishing a book, and provide a fresh pair of eyes to search for any errors or inconsistencies that may have been previously overlooked.

I am happy to mark up a hardcopy, take in corrections to live files, or to mark up PDFs with proofreading stamps.

I usually work to a style sheet provided by the publisher, but can create one for my own reference as needed. I will often fact-check while proofreading (checking details such as urls, place names, book titles and so on), and will compile a list of outstanding queries or issues for both text and design.

I am aware that the proofreading stage is often time-pressured, and I will do a thorough and accurate job while turning material around as quickly as possible.
