Proofreading
This involves checking an almost-final document or publication for typographical errors, spelling errors or grammatical errors. It does NOT involve checking the flow of the copy and effectiveness of the message.
Has someone ever talked to you in broken English and you just felt tired of listening? This is what a poorly proofread book presents. AT SPA we help you communicate to your audience effectively by going through your written manuscript and weeding out these errors.
Trust us to dot your I’s and cross your t’s enabling you to shine in the crowd.
Why do you need a proofreader? When you write something yourself, it’s easy to see what you expect to see, so you can miss errors when checking. Someone else such as a professional proofreader or copy-editor who is not as close to the document will often spot ways to improve it.
We proofread speeches, books, articles e.t.c
Editing
Basic Editing is the whereby the editor goes through the book to weed out minor errors. This is work usually done for very keen authors, authors who are also editors themselves, or editors who usually need a second opinion on their already refined work.
Developmental Editing entails the editor going through the book correcting grammatical errors while also ensuring the story has flow and structure. It is a thorough evaluation of an author’s work to help determine what it needs in order to be ready for publishing. There’s nothing as beautiful and enchanting as a book that is void of errors, simultaneously meeting the point and revealing the story leaf by leaf in a seamless manner. Let us at SPA develop your book to excellence.
Line Editing ensures that the sentences in a book or article are as effective as they can be. A line editor is attentive to the writer’s individual style (for that reason, the job is sometimes called stylistic editing) and approaches the manuscript as a careful reader.
Ghostwriting

Copy Editing
A copy edit is one of the last stages of publication, which a text should receive shortly before being published (whether online or in print). When providing a copy edit, focus on the technical aspects of language use on the page in addition to readability and accuracy. Through this polishing step, we comb through the written work to identify and correct grammar, spelling, tone and style deviations, wordiness, clunky transitions, confusing syntax, problematic or misused words or uneven flow. It is usually done before the proofreading process.
