Proofreading is the final step in the writing of a book. After all those rewrites, edits, agonizing over choice of words, proofreading fleshes out errors that were not caught by the writer and/or editor. It is the one crucial, all important step for all authors, especially self-published authors.  The following are two current successful books, proofread by Gayla Gary:

CELESTIAL FIRE A Naval Aviator’s Spiritual Odyssey by Larry James Stevens 5 GIFTS for an Abundant Life Creating a Consciousness of Wealth by Diane Harmony

A neutral pair of eyes is essential to the successful outcome of a book. Can you imagine what it feels like for an author to proudly open his or her finally published book only to find mistakes in punctuation, tense, grammar and syntax?  No self-respecting author can ever let this happen!

The proofreader is the author’s final defense against errors.
