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.

“Alexa with Luna Imprints Author Services has been my only editor for eight books, ranging from historical fiction to paranormal mystery. She is incredibly thorough and professional. She does what she says she will do, in the time that she says she will do it. Her word is her bond, and her abilities are stellar. Highly recommended!”
