Proofreading Services
Polished Words. Professional Results.
Every manuscript and document deserves a careful final review. Nellis Precise Proofreading provides detail-oriented proofreading to help authors, publishers, and businesses present polished, professional written materials.
My focus is on identifying errors and inconsistencies while preserving the writer’s original wording, voice, and intent.
Manuscript Proofreading
For authors and publishers preparing fiction and nonfiction manuscripts for publication.
Services include proofreading for:
- Novels and short stories
- Fiction and nonfiction manuscripts
- Self-published books
- Publisher-assigned proofreading projects
I review manuscripts for spelling, grammar, punctuation, typographical errors, and consistency. I pay careful attention to details while respecting the author’s writing style and the work already completed by the editor.
Business Document Proofreading
Professional documents represent you and your organization. A careful final review helps ensure that your written materials are accurate and consistent.
Documents may include:
- Business reports and proposals
- Professional correspondence
- Presentations
- Other business documents
I check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, typographical errors, and consistency so your documents are ready to share with their intended audience.
Article and Content Proofreading
Articles and other written content benefit from a final check before publication or distribution.
Projects may include:
- Articles and blog posts
- Newsletters
- Other short-form written content
My role is to identify proofreading errors—not rewrite your content or change your intended message.
My Proofreading Approach
My background includes more than 28 years in IT, where accuracy, attention to detail, and a systematic approach to problem-solving were essential. As a fiction writer myself, I understand the care that goes into a manuscript and the importance of preserving an author’s voice.
I use iAnnotate for digital proofreading, consult The Chicago Manual of Style as an editorial reference, and follow the applicable publisher’s or client’s style guide and project-specific instructions.
Proofreading, Not Editing
My proofreading services focus on identifying errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, typographical accuracy, and consistency. I review manuscripts and documents carefully while preserving the author’s original wording, voice, and intent.
Proofreading is the final quality check—not rewriting or revising your work. I follow the applicable style guide and project instructions, flagging issues for your consideration rather than making substantive changes to your writing.
Let’s Talk About Your Project
Every project has its own requirements. When you contact me, please include a brief description of your document, its approximate word count, and your desired completion date.
I’ll review your project details and let you know whether I can accommodate your needs.
