What We Catch

The Details Readers Notice

Proofreading is not a quick spell check. It is a slow, focused read of every word, number and heading on the page.

01

Typos and Spelling

Misspellings, doubled words and the errors spell check accepts, like there and their.

02

Punctuation

Commas, quotation marks, apostrophes and dialogue punctuation applied correctly.

03

Consistency

Character names, spellings, capitalization and numbers kept the same throughout.

04

Layout Slips

Widows, orphans, broken headers, page numbers and spacing issues in formatted pages.

Fresh Eyes Matter

Why Authors Cannot Proofread Their Own Books

After months with a manuscript, your brain reads what you meant to write rather than what is on the page. That is why even experienced authors and editors rely on a separate proofreader.

Our proofreaders come to your book with no assumptions, reading slowly and methodically so nothing is skimmed or skipped.

Cyrill Powell

Hexa Book Publishers created an attractive cover that offers a strong aesthetic appeal. It relates the entire story in a single picture without opening the book. In addition, the typography communicates emotions and sentiments clearly. I strongly recommend them to all book geeks!

FAQs

Proofreading Questions

Editing improves structure, clarity and style. Proofreading is the final check for surface errors once the text is otherwise complete. If your draft needs deeper work, see our editing services.

Ideally both. A pass on the manuscript catches language errors, and a pass on the formatted proof catches layout issues introduced during design.

Books commonly follow The Chicago Manual of Style, but we can follow another guide or your publisher's house style on request.

No. Proofreading corrects errors only. If a sentence is unclear, we add a query for you to decide rather than rewriting it.
