You may wish to have your manuscript proofread by a professional proofreader, and we offer this service to our authors for additional cost of £4.00 per 1000 words. Almost all writers recognise the worthwhile benefits of having their work checked over by a professional or friend that has the required skills, for grammar, spelling, punctuation and general consistency of name spelling, locations etc. within their novel. We would suggest that in order to have your book presented in its’ best possible light, it should be checked over by someone other than you the writer, prior to the production stage.

Editing is another worthwhile and some would say vital, exercise for the writer who is really taking their writing seriously. If you have written a book where the central storyline is strong and absorbing, you want the reader to have their full attention on what is happening in the story, not on where this piece or that piece could have been better written. Equally if someone of influence within the publishing world is reading your book, you want them to be impressed with what they are reading, not annoyed at the poor structure. If best selling authors value their editors above almost everyone else there must be a good reason! We offer an editing service for an additional £6.00 per 1,000 words to our authors and it might be the best money spent prior to having your book published.

Remember, you never know who will be reading your book once it is printed and available for sale, so you obviously don’t want to have your reader distracted by annoying little errors that could have easily been corrected before it was printed.
