Why do I need a proofreader?

Proofreading is the process of checking copy and marking up any errors. This is usually carried out on proofs or on-screen after a text has been copy-edited and updated by the typesetter/designer.

Proofreading will check for the following: 

• Spelling
• Grammar
• Punctuation
• Misused words
• Mixed tenses
• Sense
• Design inconsistencies
• Incorrect capitalisation
• Ensuring specific house styles/style guides are followed 
• Formatting problems
• Double spaces
• 'Widows' and 'orphans'

“All the words I use in my stories can be found in the dictionary - it's just a matter of arranging them into the right sentences.”
- Somerset Maugham
