Ready for an early feedback Check-In?

This means you’re getting a head start and a saving on the full service.

If you later book a full manuscript proofread, the cost of your 3-Chapter Check-In will be deducted from your final invoice.

The 3-Chapter Check-In is an affordable, focused review of three chapters designed to highlight recurring issues and strengthen your manuscript.

You’ll receive clear, easy-to-follow feedback – no jargon, no pressure.

It’s perfect if you want to catch issues early and save time – and money – later in the process.

You’ll see how I work, gain insight into your writing habits, and receive feedback you can apply across your manuscript.

A note on timing:
Proofreading is usually the final stage after copyediting, but this early Check-In applies the same level of care and attention, along with light editing and feedback – helping you identify recurring issues before they become harder to correct.

I am extremely grateful for Kelly’s proofreading of the opening of my novel. She gave it extra care, especially considering it was written in my second language. She adapted my work into British English and provided alternative wording within British vocabulary for me to choose from. She also examined specific terms and phrases carefully to ensure consistency throughout the manuscript.

She identified the internal dialogue and ensured that, even without speech marks, it remained clear and easy to follow. Her work was precise, thoughtful, and highly detailed. I felt completely safe knowing that my manuscript was in her hands.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for professionalism in literary writing.
