Since 2008, Proofessor.co.uk has not only offered affordable writing and education support services for professionals, academics, and researchers, but also the professional proofreading services provider has satisfied the needs of thousands of authors, fiction writers, and poets.

If you are looking for an editor or proofreader to help you prepare your book for publication, the industry insight of the professional you work with is crucial in giving you an edge. Conventional editing and proofreading services are not geared towards long pieces of writing such as books, and instead they are usually aimed at students, businesses, or researchers who have short projects with clear, well-known requirements (e.g., as indicated by university mark schemes or author guidelines from academic journals). Therefore, the skills needed to edit or proofread short documents successfully are related but distinct to those required for successful book editors or proofreaders. This means that, when you are looking professional proofreading services, finding someone with experience, ideally an author or a publishing professional, will help you achieve the best outcome possible.

At Proofessor.co.uk, editing and proofreading services, even for long documents such as books, have remained the company’s flagship offerings since its founding in 2008. However, given the key differences that exist between successful proofreading and editing for short and long documents, different members of our team specialise in providing services for different document types. In our book proofreading unit, the industry insight of our team ensures that we maintain your style even while intervening heavily in critical aspects of the written English your document. These critical aspects include fixing grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors; making your prose more concise to promote readability where necessary; changing your town to ensure its home with your intended readers.

Of course, there are differences in the level of depth an editor or proofreader will apply when correcting and changing aspects of your book. These must be considered before you purchase a service. For example, an editor is likely to focus on issues like the coherence and clarity of your book’s structure, and to provide concrete recommendations or strategies for solving any problems they identify. By contrast, a proofreader, who is generally hired for a significantly lower rate than an editor, will likely not focus on such high-level issues, and instead may only comment briefly on the problem to draw it to your attention.
