ProofReading

GardenOfGood Publishing proofs documents in whichever format and delivery method suit you best! You can simply send us your document by mail, courier, fax or e-mail.

We work on Windows platforms, in MS Word, as well as Adobe Acrobat^® and most picture files (if you’re not sure whether we can work with your file, call or send us an e-mail).

Word files can be returned electronically (with the revisions clearly highlighted) or as a marked-up hard copy. All other files will be returned to you as a marked-up hard copy by fax, mail or courier (surcharges may apply).

We feel that you have the right to know what our service is going to cost you before you commit to using it, which is why we don’t use vague hourly rates or quotes. Our prices are based on the size and format of the supplied document and the format you want back. As long as you give us accurate information about your document, the price quote you get before placing your order is the price you pay!
