Turnaround time:
Turnaround depends on the length of the project and the amount of proofreading required. Rush turnarounds can sometimes be accommodated, but may attract an extra fee. Contact me with your full requirements to learn more.

What is included in my proofread:
- Spelling and grammar checks that will not be picked up by automated tools (I will point out your 'whether' from your 'weather'!).
- Consistency of style/formatting eg. line spacing, chapter/section headings, paragraph style, bullet point numbering.
- A Word document with the full proofread included via the Track Changes tool, which will allow you to accept or decline each suggestion as you see fit. This will be sent via email.

What is not included in my proofread:
- Structural commentary (notes on character, story arc, pacing, etc.)
