After the technical edit, the grammatical and stylistic consistency of the book is handled by the copyeditor. Some of our clients have their own in-house style guides which they supply to us, or our editors use their experience with computer terminology and standard style manuals to ensure a consistent and professional manuscript.
Book production requires a skilled proofreader to correct serious and embarrassing spelling and formatting mistakes before the book reaches the marketplace. While the customer and author can review the page proofs for accuracy of content and catch some errors, a proofreader is skilled in the quality details of the book: its spelling, grammar, and adherence to the design specifications. We take proofreading very seriously. Nothing can be more distracting to the reader or embarrassing to the publisher than a book riddled with typographical errors, missing or mislabeled figures, or cross references and index entries pointing to the wrong pages. The proofreader is the book's final defense against serious and costly errors.
