“I used Sharon’s proofreading services when I decided to self-publish a novel. This was after a career in traditional publishing where one essentially has an army of professionals to handle numerous editorial tasks. It was quite a culture shock. After sending the manuscript out to a large team of advance readers, all of whom provided numerous corrections, I wondered if I still needed a final proofread. I’m so glad I decided to go for it. I discovered that there is much more to it than simply getting your friends to spot typos; a professional eye catches things most of us are not even aware of. Even if one is not consciously aware of these details, I believe they register subliminally, much like the difference between a hand-tailored suit and one from Primark. More than anything, it is tremendously reassuring to know your manuscript has been professionally proofread and that no one will be able to tell the difference between your work and that of a high-quality mainstream publisher. Sharon was also a pleasure to work with, and I thoroughly commend her services.”
