Proofreading & quality control

Edit & refine

A final, bounded review of approved pages or files for typographical errors, formatting faults, broken references and production inconsistencies.

Proofreading is the last quality-control stage, not a substitute for structural or copyediting work. It is performed against an approved proof so corrections remain controlled and traceable.

Defined around the project

What the engagement may include

  • Marked proof or correction schedule
  • Cross-page consistency checks
  • Final correction verification

Who this is for

Books and publications that have completed editing and design and are approaching print, digital release or formal approval.

How work begins

Every engagement begins with a review of the work, intended outcome, schedule, responsibilities and available evidence. Scope, fees, milestones and rights are confirmed separately in writing before commissioned work starts.

Prepare a responsible enquiry

Bring these four facts

  • A short description of the work and its intended audience
  • The present editorial or production stage
  • The formats and outcome you want Leone Connect to review
  • Your target date, or confirmation that timing is flexible
