Today I decided to look up the actual definition of a proof reader - interesting reading ... here is what Wikipedia says ...
Proofreading is the reading of a galley proof or an electronic copy of a publication to detect and correct production errors of text or art.[1] Proofreaders are expected to be consistently accurate by default because they occupy the last stage of typographic production before publication.

So, for those authors, would-be writers and amateurs who are passionate about their work and are keen to have it published, whether in hard copy or an eBook or anything else that is available, employing a proofreader is essential. Of paramount importance is correctness - grammar, punctuation, plausibility and the elimination of 'unnecessary' words. Formatting is another key to ensuring your writing is set out in a clear and clean manner, and above all, is easy to read.
Wishing you all the best with your next 'best selling' novel!
