Proofreading and copy-editing for self-published authors
If you are publishing your own book, you should have your manuscript professionally copy-edited and/or proofread.
What I can do for you
I can ensure that the text:
Is free of errors
Is pitched at the correct level for the intended reader
Follows an agreed style guide in terms of layout, format, and general style
Follows an agreed referencing style
Contains a consistently and correctly formatted reference list or bibliography
Is consistent throughout
If you do not have a style sheet or a referencing guide, I can help you to develop one, and then apply it consistently throughout the text
I can also give you advice on various aspects of self-publishing, in terms of:
The format
The design
The content of the preliminary pages
The index
Obtaining an ISBN number
Printing
Publicity
My experience in this area
