ProofreadingCarla Pinilla
So you have a manuscript you’re very proud of and are looking to publish, but let’s be honest: you’ve been staring at the thing for so long, reading and editing and reworking over and over and over, that you can’t see your mistakes anymore. So you might be missing a typo here, a missing article there, some subject-verb disagreement every once in a while, but you just can’t tell anymore. This is when having a fresh pair of eyes look at your manuscript comes in handy, and that is what a proofreader does: find and fix those small errors so that your manuscript is ready for publication.
What's included
Track Changes Manuscript Corrections
You send me your manuscript, and I read through it with a critical eye, correcting small errors, making comments if anything is not clear or reads weirdly, or marking revisions that would require further input on your part. This is all done through the Track Changes functionality in Microsoft Word.
FAQs
The cost of a proofread depends on your manuscript's word count. My current rate $0.004 USD (0.4 cents) per word, or a base fee of $40 USD if it’s under 10,000 words. For manuscripts over 10,000 words, a $40 USD non-refundable deposit will be charged upon receipt, and the rest upon completion
The cost of a proofread will depend on the length of your manuscript. I strongly recommend that you only get your work proofread if your manuscript has already gone through a full edit; proofreading is meant as the very last step in the editing process and is not intended to fix character, plot, or style issues. If your manuscript is difficult to read or understand, or I believe if requires a more involved revision than a simple proofread, I reserve the right to postpone your proofread until after you’ve had it edited. I can refer you to a freelance editor if needed.
I will proofread journalistic, academic, or workplace articles and reports, schoolwork of any kind, or other similar non-narrative manuscripts on a per-case basis, but I will not do any science revisions as part of that service.
Please note that while I aim for a 95% error catch rate at the minimum, it is impossible for any proofreader to catch every single error, especially on large manuscripts. More than one round of proofreading (preferably from two different proofreaders) is always recommended.
