Get a proofreading sample
Would you like to see an example of what a proofreader can do to improve your work? You can do so by submitting a short section of your manuscript, which I will edit and return to you within a fortnight.
Why a trial run is a good idea when it comes to editing and proofreading
Getting a sample from a proofreader (or an editor) is a great way to preview a professional service before making a commitment, and it will give you clarity on what your draft should look like before you begin the submission process. It’s so easy for the smallest of mistakes (such as punctuation errors and misspellings) to become invisible to writers during the different stages of the revision process. That’s where a professional eye can give you, the author, the expert feedback you need to enhance your manuscript.
TOP TIP: Rather than opting for your first chapter to be proofread (a common choice), I’d recommend sending a section from later in your manuscript. Why? Because it’s more than likely that you’ve already polished your first few pages and paragraphs multiple times! You’ll gain better clarity on what proofreading can do for you if you select a piece from further on in the story.

Get a discount on a full proofreading service
If, at a later date, you go ahead with a full proofreading service for the manuscript in question, you will receive a discount to the value of your sample order. There is no time limit to this offer, but the sample must have been taken from the manuscript receiving the full proofread.
