Book Proofreading Services
Professional Proofreading Services for Authors
Readers forgive a lot, but a typo on the first page or a character whose name changes halfway through can cost you a review. Agents and publishers notice too. That’s why a proofread is the last step before any book goes out into the world. At AMZ United Press, our proofreaders read your manuscript slowly and closely, catching the small errors that spellcheck misses and that tired authors read straight past. Homophones, missing words, doubled words, stray spaces and inconsistent capitals are exactly the kind of slips we’re trained to spot.
Proofreading is a final polish, not a rewrite. If your draft still needs work on flow, structure or style, our book editing services go deeper. If you’re starting from an idea rather than a draft, our ghostwriting team writes a clean manuscript from the outset. And once your proofread is done, we can prepare print and ebook files through our book formatting services, so your book is ready for any platform.
- Spelling, grammar and punctuation corrected line by line
- Names, dates and terms kept consistent throughout
- Your voice and style left intact
- Tracked changes so you see every correction
What we cover
Online Proofreading Services for Every Kind of Book
Whatever you’ve written, we’ll match it with a proofreader who understands the format. Here are the projects authors most often send us for a final check.

A complete pass over your finished manuscript for errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation and formatting. We also flag awkward word repetitions and inconsistencies, so the text you submit or publish is clean and polished.

Ebook Proofreading
Ebooks bring their own risks, from broken links to odd line breaks after conversion. We check the text and the reading experience, making sure your ebook reads cleanly and leaves a professional impression on every device.

Long fiction is full of details to track: character names, timelines, dialogue punctuation and invented words. Our proofreaders catch slips in all of them while leaving your voice, rhythm and storytelling choices alone.

How it works
Our Proofreading Process
Our book proofreading process is simple and quick. You send the file, we match it with the right proofreader and you receive a clean, marked-up manuscript within the agreed time.
- 01
Personal Consultation
We begin with a short conversation about your book, your deadline and where it will be published. If you’re unsure whether you need proofreading or editing, we’ll give you an honest recommendation based on the state of your draft.
- 02
Service Selection and File Submission
You choose the service that fits and send your manuscript through our secure upload. We confirm the word count, style preferences and delivery date in a written quote, so you know the price before we begin.
- 03
Matching the Right Proofreader
We assign a proofreader who knows your genre and format, whether that’s a fantasy novel, a memoir or a technical manual. They review your style notes and any existing style sheet before reading a single page.
- 04
The Proofread
Your proofreader works through the manuscript line by line, correcting typos, grammar, punctuation and inconsistencies with tracked changes. Questions about meaning or intent are left as margin comments rather than guessed at.
- 05
Your Feedback
You review every correction and comment, accepting or rejecting changes as you see fit. If anything is unclear, your proofreader explains the reasoning, and we make any follow-up adjustments within the agreed scope.
- 06
Final Delivery
You receive a clean final file plus the marked-up version for your records. If you’re moving on to formatting or publishing, we can pass the finished manuscript straight to the next team.

Hire a proofreader and publish with confidence.
What is proofreading?
Proofreading is the last stage of preparing a manuscript. A proofreader checks the text for spelling, grammar, punctuation and typographical errors, and makes sure names, numbers and formatting are consistent. It comes after editing, once the content is final, and it’s the step that makes a book look professional.
What if I’m not happy with my proofread?
Tell us. Your project manager will look at your concerns with the proofreader, and if something was missed or doesn’t match the agreed scope, we’ll correct it. We’d rather put things right than leave you with a manuscript you don’t trust.
How long does the proofreading process take?
Most book proofreads take three to seven days, depending on the length of your manuscript and how much needs correcting. Shorter pieces can be faster, and urgent deadlines can often be accommodated. Your delivery date is confirmed in your written quote.
How much do proofreading services cost?
The price depends mainly on word count, the complexity of the text and your deadline. Our proofreading services start from $180, and you’ll receive a written quote after we see your manuscript. You can compare options on our pricing page.
How do I get started?
Send us a message or call to tell us about your book. We’ll ask a few questions, look at your file and send a written quote with a delivery date. Once you approve it, your proofreader starts work. It’s as simple as that.
Do you proofread different genres of books?
Yes. We proofread fiction, nonfiction, memoir, autobiography, children’s books, poetry, business guides and technical manuals. We assign a proofreader familiar with your genre and its conventions, so your style and tone are respected.
How can I be sure my manuscript stays confidential?
Your manuscript is shared through secure file transfer and seen only by the people working on it. We’re happy to sign an NDA before you send anything, and we never share, publish or reuse your work. You keep 100% of the rights to your book.
