We Help You With Publishing
Proofreading is not the same as editing. It is the last pass before publication. Most authors skip it because they are tired of reading their own words. Others rely on spell check, which misses homophones (their/there) and context errors.
At Author Publishers Hub, our proofreaders are trained to see what you cannot. We read your manuscript backwards, forwards, and out loud. We check every punctuation mark, every page number, every heading. We compare your table of contents against chapter titles. We ensure consistency in spelling, hyphenation, and capitalization. We do not change your voice or rewrite sentences. We only catch the errors that would embarrass you in print.
The problem: You have read your manuscript so many times that your brain autocorrects mistakes. You see what you meant to write, not what is actually there.
Author Publishers Hub's solution: Our proofreaders start with a fresh eyes pass. We read at a steady pace, not too fast, not too slow. We mark every misspelling, every missing period, every extra space. We also flag repeated words (the the) and incorrect homophones (their, there, they are). This pass catches 80 percent of surface errors.
What our surface scan gives you:
The problem: Your manuscript uses "email" in chapter one and "e mail" in chapter ten. You capitalize "President" sometimes but not always. Readers notice.
Author Publishers Hub's solution: We create a style sheet for your book based on your preferences or a standard guide (Chicago, AP, Oxford). Then we check every instance of flagged terms. Character names, place names, hyphenation, serial commas, date formats. We also check heading hierarchy and font consistency. Your book will look like it was produced by a major publisher.
How we ensure consistency:
The problem: Your manuscript looks fine in Word but breaks when converted to ebook or print. Chapter headings shift. Page numbers vanish. Indents disappear.
Author Publishers Hub's solution: We proofread after formatting, not before. We check your final PDF, Kindle file, or print layout. We look for orphaned headings, widowed lines, incorrect page breaks, and mismatched fonts. We also verify that your table of contents links work. This is the pass that prevents nasty surprises after publication.
Our formatting check includes:
The problem: You do not know if one proofread is enough. You are afraid of missing something.
Author Publishers Hub's solution: We perform two complete proofreads by two different proofreaders. The first proofreader catches errors. The second proofreader reviews the corrected manuscript and looks for anything the first missed. Then we return your manuscript with track changes and a final clean copy. You review and approve. No error is too small for us to fix.
What our process guarantees:
Proofreading thrives on fresh eyes, systematic methods, and obsessive attention to detail. Great proofreading is invisible; you only notice it when it is missing.
Great proofreading is a blend of patience, precision, and humility. Author Publishers Hub brings all three. You bring your finished manuscript. Together, we make it flawless.
We treat your book like it will be judged by the harshest critic. Because it will.
Most people wait years to publish. The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is now.
Imagine uploading your book knowing that every comma is correct, every name is spelled right, and every page is perfect. That peace of mind is one proofread away.
A professionally proofread book is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It can:
Most people skip proofreading to save a few hundred dollars. Then they live with regret. Author Publishers Hub clients publish with pride, not panic.
The best time to proofread was before your first review went live. The second best time is right now.
Copy editing fixes grammar, punctuation, consistency, and style issues at the sentence level. Proofreading is the final pass after formatting, catching any lingering typos, formatting errors, or missed copy edits. Copy editing changes more; proofreading changes very little. Both are essential.
Yes. Spell check does not catch homophones (their/there/they are), incorrect word usage (affect/effect), or context errors. It also misses formatting issues and consistency problems. A human proofreader finds what software cannot.
No. Proofreading is strictly error correction. We fix typos, punctuation, and formatting. We do not rephrase sentences, cut words, or change style. If we see a potential error that is actually intentional (dialogue, dialect, creative spelling), we flag it for your approval. Your voice is protected.
A typical 70,000 word novel takes 5 to 7 business days for our two pass process. A 100,000 word non fiction book takes 7 to 10 business days. Rush proofreading (48 hours) is available for an additional fee. We always confirm a deadline before starting.
Pricing is based on word count. A standard rate is 0.006 to 0.01 dollars per word. For a 70,000 word novel, that is 420 to 700 dollars. For a 50,000 word memoir, 300 to 500 dollars. We offer a free 1,000 word sample proofread so you can see our quality before committing. No hidden fees.
All three. We can proofread Word documents, Google Docs, PDFs, and even formatted Kindle files. For ebooks, we check internal links, clickable table of contents, and image alignment. For print, we check page numbers, headers, and margins. Just tell us your final output format.
