Proofreading & editing
If you're self-publishing a book, it's important to have your manuscript edited professionally
In the past, self-publishing had a reputation for poor quality. This is no longer the case and at Wellness Books, we champion self-publishing and require all the books we publish to adhere to a certain standard. Additionally, if you find errors in your book post-publishing, the cost of reprinting a book can be costly. We strongly recommend having your manuscript proofread before publishing.
Proofreading
Proofreading is a last check of the text before it goes to print. A proofreader can add finesse to your final book
Even if your book's been read through by a friend, we advise writers to have it checked by a professional editor.
Our proofreaders will eliminate errors such as typos and poor grammar, ensuring that your book meets the standards expected of a published work. This is the final step before the design stage of the publishing process.
Editing
Editing is a more comprehensive service than proofreading. Make sure your book is print-ready by having it edited professionally
We offer full editing for manuscripts that need a little extra care. Editing involves checking your book for language usage, inconsistencies, factual errors, structure, sense etc. Your dedicated editor might carry out some light rewriting or provide you with suggestions to improve your work.
We can offer line editing of your book or structural editing.
When the editing stage is complete, you may wish to have your book proofread before it goes to print; if you require this dual service, we will offer a much-reduced price on the final check of your work.
