The 3-Chapter Check-In
Attentive Proofreading, Personal Support
Do you want to make your manuscript the best it can be – without committing to a full proofread just yet?
The 3-Chapter Check-In is a low-cost, focused review of three chapters to identify recurring issues early.
You'll receive clear, easy-to-follow feedback – no jargon, no pressure.
Perfect for authors who want to catch issues early and save time – and money – later in the process.
You'll see how I work, gain insight into your writing habits, and receive feedback you can apply across your manuscript.
A note on timing:
Proofreading is usually the final stage after copyediting, but this early Check-In provides the same level of care and attention that I would apply to a full proofread — helping you spot issues as you go and strengthen your writing along the way.
What's Included:
A detailed proofread of 3 chapters
Line-by-line corrections for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and typos
Clear feedback that's easy to understand and free from jargon
Notes on recurring issues
£45 credited if you return for a final full proofread
The 3-Chapter Check-In
Why It's Worth It:
Identify and correct common issues early
Strengthen your writing ahead of an edit/ full proofread
Learn patterns you can fix yourself as you go
Build confidence in your manuscript
Save time – and money – later in the process
Price: £45.00
Ready to take the next step?
If you're looking for early feedback you can use right away – without pressure or long-term commitment – The 3-Chapter Check-In is the ideal place to begin.
Clear, constructive, and genuinely useful.

Exclusive Offer
If you return for a full proofread of your manuscript, your £45.00 will be fully deducted from the final price – based on my lower rate for proofreading.
This means you're getting a head start and a saving on the full service.
A smart, affordable starting point
🌈 Inclusivity Note
I work with all kinds of writers – including those who think, write, or process information a little differently.
My aim is to make proofreading calm, respectful, and comfortable for everyone, with clear communication and an adaptable approach that fits your way of working.
