Proofreading is the final quality check before publication, ensuring your manuscript is free of typos, minor grammar issues, and formatting inconsistencies. Most authors do this in one or two stages: typically once before formatting, and optionally after formatting in .epub or .pdf files.
At LIAS, we provide the first stage as standard and can accommodate the second stage if needed. For formatted files, rather than tracked changes, you’ll receive a detailed report indicating the location of each correction (for .epub) or page number (for .pdf).
If you're hiring a formatter, we strongly recommend completing your proofreading before formatting, as multiple revisions on formatted files may incur additional charges.
Starting at $0.02 per word

“Alexa makes the entire editing process comfortable. She’s like a long lost friend with invaluable editing expertise. Pricing is very competitive! I had reached out to various editing companies and overall Luna Imprints was the best option based on pricing, offerings, personality, & knowledge. Alexa helped me to improve my novel to a degree I never thought possible. I’m so thrilled with Alexa’s kindness, knowledge, and patience and I plan to hire Luna Imprints again for my next novel. No matter what level of editing you require, you need Alexa and her team!”
Author of Me & Eryn Carlo, Grace's Knitties, and Second Chance chick lit novels
Pricing is in US dollars and is subject to change. Manuscript length and complexity can lead to additional charges. We will always contact you before proceeding in such cases.
We do not accept manuscripts with a poor mastery of the English language. If you are unsure, please send us the first chapter of your work. Any misrepresentation of the complexity of your novel will lead to your order being cancelled.
Unless otherwise specified on your invoice, turnaround for the majority of our packages is 3-4 weeks. We can accommodate urgent requests, but there will be an additional rush fee. Please contact us in advance.
