Professional Proofreading
Service
For Only $1 Per Page!
Do I need a professional proofread?
Proofreading is the task of checking your work line by line for mistakes in grammar, spelling, punctuation and other forms of typographical errors.
If proofreading was only $20 for a whole book, every author would do it in a heartbeat. But the truth is proofreading can be as much as $5 per page, which is why so many authors opt to perform this critical final step themselves.
Unfortunately, authors just aren't capable of analyzing their own work; that's why even professional editors who write a book hire someone else to proofread it. The analyst must be objective, because when authors read their own work their minds will add missing words or letters, creating not only typos, but sometimes gaps in the story itself.
As the author you have done your job and written a compelling book. Now you need to let an editor do their job and ensure your book is being presented in the best way possible with a professional proofread; it simply is not finished until you do.
Professional proofreading at an affordable price
We have partnered with an expert proofreader who has agreed to offer very low rates for Readers Favorite authors. Dr. George has an MA and Ph.D in English with 28 years experience as a college English professor. He has freelanced as an editor and proofreader for many years, editing countless books for published and self-published authors, and has even edited undergraduate English text books.
According to Lynn Wasnak, author of Writer's Digest's How Much Should I Charge?, in 2011 proofreaders earned anywhere from $2 - $5 per page with an average of $3.26 based on experience.
With rates like these it's no wonder authors choose to forgo professional proofreading. However, Dr. George is offering his proofreading service to Readers Favorite for only $1 per page. This rate would be difficult to find from novice editors, and is unheard of from a seasoned editor with nearly 3 decades of experience.
The average number of words for a printed page range from 250 to 300. We use the high end so there are fewer pages, which saves you money. Please enter your book's word count in the box below to see exactly what a proofread would cost.
Your word processor will have an option to display your word count. If you can't find it, Google your word processor's name and "word count" for instructions.
How does it work?
Complete the form below and attach your book as a Word Document (preferred) or RTF. Your document cannot be in PDF or any other format to keep the costs of this proofread service so low. Dr. George will make changes using Microsoft Word's "Track Changes" feature, so you will get the document back with notes and suggested changes indicated in red. You can then accept or reject each change.
Dr. George will proofread your book regardless of genre or length in 1-2 weeks, with most done in one week or less.
One month promotion in our Featured Book rotator
We will add your book cover to the Featured Book rotator for one month.
Our Featured Book rotator is at the top left of every page on our site and rotates randomly through all our Featured Books. When a book cover is clicked it will take the visitor to the book's Readers Favorite review page.
It is positioned to attract the attention of our thousands of weekly visitors, many of whom are agents, publishers and publicists who are here viewing reviews we have done for their authors or submitting requests for new reviews. We are also visited by bloggers and journalists who have read our press releases and are visiting to see our Award Winning books, as well as authors and people just looking for a good book to read.
We do not sell this advertising space; we provide it to our authors as a perk for purchasing any of our Author Services to help them promote their book. By not selling the space we keep the number of images down, which provides those in the rotator more screen time.

"I am extremely happy with the proofreading work Dr. George did for me. I was very impressed by his professionalism, dedication and speed. It was mainly because of his fast turnaround that we were able to publish the refined second edition of the novel on time. And the very intense work he did has made the novel far more refined and stylish. I am very grateful for his precious and fast work." |

"Dr. G. went well beyond what I expected. I gave him a rough text and he proofread, researched, and refined my book in a few short days. He is an outstanding editor and just seems to have an innate gift of language, to understand what people want and the ability to refine a text accordingly. I highly recommend Dr. George. He blew me away, and he will do the same for you!" |
