WHAT WE DO

Services built for
the genre.

Generic proofreading misses what matters in urban romance and suspense. We don't. Every service is calibrated for the voice, pace, and conventions of your genre.

I

Manuscript Proofreading

The core pass. Every line reviewed for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting inconsistencies. We preserve your voice while catching the errors that pull readers out of the story.

We don't sanitize. Urban romance and suspense have dialect, slang, stylistic breaks. We know the difference between an error and a choice — and we respect the choice.

  • Grammar and punctuation correction
  • Spelling and homonym errors
  • Formatting consistency (chapter heads, scene breaks, POV tags)
  • Dialogue mechanics
  • Voice preservation — your style stays intact

Series Continuity Check

Series readers notice everything. The love interest's eye color changing between books. A character who died in book two showing up in book four. A timeline that doesn't add up.

We build a series bible from your existing books and track every named entity, location, and timeline event — then verify your new manuscript against it.

  • Character name, description, and relationship tracking
  • Location and world-building consistency
  • Timeline and chronology verification
  • Recurring details and callbacks
  • Series bible document delivered with your proofread

Rush Turnaround

Publishing windows close fast. Promotions, anthology deadlines, preorder commitments — sometimes you need a polished manuscript in 48 hours, not 14 days.

Rush turnaround is a full manuscript proof delivered in 2–3 business days. No quality cuts. Same read, different clock.

  • Full proofreading scope (same as Manuscript Proofreading)
  • 2–3 business day delivery guaranteed
  • Priority queue — your manuscript goes to the front
  • Rush availability confirmed before you submit

Pre-Publication Polish

The final read before you hit publish. This is the pass where small things get caught — a wrong chapter number, a dedication that doesn't match the final draft, a header that didn't update when you restructured the book.

Pre-pub polish is designed for manuscripts that have already been through editing. It's the last pair of eyes, focused on presentation-layer errors.

  • Front matter review (title page, copyright, dedication, TOC)
  • Chapter numbering and heading consistency
  • Back matter (author bio, acknowledgments, series list)
  • Final spelling and punctuation pass
  • Formatting uniformity (font, spacing, scene breaks)
