Every story should have an unblemished ending.
You have put the words on paper. You have rewritten, proofread, and re-edited. However talented a writer may be, it still requires another pair of eyes before their book can greet the world. Our book proofreading services at GhostsWriters are designed to help you get what you missed, formatting, commas, sneaked-up typos, formatting mistakes, lost modifiers, and so on.
It is not mere spellchecking. This is the last defense frontier between nearly ready and completely polished.
With your first novel, memoir of the heart, or business book that is supposed to set minds to thinking, our proofreaders make sure that your pages are clear, error-free, and ready to go, without changing your voice or your purpose.

Our Book Proofreading Process
Polishing your final draft into flawless form—without losing your voice.
Before we touch a single punctuation mark, we read your manuscript from cover to cover—with heart and highlighters. We take in the tone, the pacing, and the overall feel so we know exactly what not to break while we fix what needs fixing. We don’t use AI book proofreading to get the job done.
Now the real work starts. Our proofreaders move through your manuscript line by line—catching typos, grammar slipups, misused words, double spaces, and other silent story-killers. This isn’t light skimming—it’s high-focus, surgical cleanup.
We leave clear, respectful comments for anything that feels off, not to change your writing, but to help elevate clarity or consistency. We believe proofreading is just as much about respecting the author as it is about correcting the copy.
You’ll receive a fully marked-up document, with tracked changes and optional notes. Love it? Great. Want to tweak something? We’ll work with you until the final polish feels exactly right.
Once you’re happy, we’ll finalize the formatting and deliver your error-free, publication-ready manuscript—perfect for self-publishing, submitting to agents, or printing proudly.
As a final act of care, we do what we call the “Whisper Read”, where we read sections aloud to catch what eyes alone might miss. Awkward phrasing, rhythm glitches, sneaky typos hiding in plain sight—this is our last sweep, done with the kind of attention only humans (not AI) can give.

Case Studies
Where the smallest corrections made the biggest difference.
From Almost There to Absolutely Unmissable
An indie author came to us with a powerful self-help manuscript—raw, heartfelt, but riddled with small slip-ups. Typos, tense shifts, misplaced modifiers—it was all there. Our proofreading team combed through the manuscript with a fine-tooth comb, preserving her authentic tone while quietly removing every flaw. The result? A polished, emotionally resonant book that’s now being used in workshops across the country.
Proofreading a Memoir That Meant Everything
A daughter compiling her father’s handwritten memoir wanted it published “as he would’ve wanted.” But the original document needed structure, grammar support, and formatting clarity, without compromising its warmth. We carefully proofread the book line by line, honoring his storytelling style while enhancing the readability. The final version became a family keepsake—and a published tribute that sold out at the launch event.
Frequently Asked Questions
In our book proofreading services, we look at the last round of quality check before printing. We look at the mechanics: grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word use; issue consistency, and small style concerns, but we do not alter your tone, voice, or structure. It is just cleaning up, not rewriting.
Great question! Editing pays attention to high-level features such as structure, pacing, and sentence flow. The last step is proofreading. Imagine it like a seam check on your book before it reaches the shelves. Proofreading is dusting the marble when editing is chiseling.
