Proofreading and proof-editing services for independent authors

Are you a writer of fiction? Typos, grammatical errors or a plot inconsistency can be off-putting to your readers. They could lose interest and put your book down unfinished, or they may leave a less-than-favourable review. Wherever you are on your novel-writing journey, a beta read (early manuscript review), proof-edit or proofread will improve your work.

Proofreading and proof-editing services

I will return your manuscript with:

  • typographical, spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors corrected

  • changes or suggestions to help you improve clarity, consistency and logic flow (in text, not in content)

​

Your text will also be aligned to your preferred style sheet (available as part of my proof-editing service).

My experience

I have experience proofreading and editing YA (young adult), fantasy, sci-fi, romance and women​’s fiction. I have proofread and edited in UK and US English, and I’ve worked with dyslexic people and people whose first language is not English.

 

I also have experience working with different style sheets. I​’m willing to work with your publisher’s style guide, or I can help you develop your own style sheet if you don​’t have one.

Her work was equal to that of my large publisher ...

​

“Working with Victoria was a dream. She was professional and considerate the entire time, and she made the whole experience very pain free.

I​’m a hybrid author, and finding a copy-editor for my first self-published manuscript was quite daunting, but her work was equal to that of my

large publisher. Thank you Tori.”​

 

—Carlotta Page, author of Claimed by the Alien Outlaw
