Proofreading services 

Your book is complete, it looks good, it's been edited, proofread. It must be ready to go, right? Not necessarily…

You wouldn't believe the number of typos, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors we find when recording an audiobook. That’s why we offer proofreading services specifically designed to make your book audiobook-ready!

During an audiobook recording, the Monkeynut audiobook producer follows the text meticulously, to ensure it is accurate. As such, they inevitably pick up on errors in the book - from spelling typos to missing commas to inconsistencies in the narrative! Similarly, the narrators are trained to read the text ‘as-written’ - so often pick up on any oversights that may have been missed. 

We live and breathe audiobooks, which is why our audiobook studio and audiobook producers have the reputation of being some of the best in the country! We want you to be proud of your audiobook. Consequently, we offer a proof-reading service! Our trained proof-readers (BA, MA) will meticulously go through your text and correct any of the following:

• Spelling mistakes

• Grammatical errors

• Narrative inconsistencies 

We will then return the edited document to you with highlighted corrections and suggestions if relevant. 

This proofreading service is ideal for authors wishing to make sure their book is flawless before it goes to print and before the audiobook is recorded. It is also perfect for those authors who are self-publishing.
