What is Proofreading?

After your manuscript has been typeset, the book layout has been completed and put into a PDF, we move into proofreading. As the final check of your work prior to publication, we look for any lingering issues such as any remaining typographical errors and address any inconsistencies with the typesetting or layout.

Proofreading focuses on:

- basic grammar
- spelling
- the punctuation
- capitalizations
- unintended blank pages
- illustrations (if applicable)
- chapter headers

- font
- type size
- any spacing issues
- margin issues
- headers/footers
- correct dimensions
