What the free proofread is best for

Use the free proofread when you want a fast cleanup pass before beta readers, a paid edit, a query submission, or self-publishing. It catches surface issues while leaving your voice intact.

Grammar and typo cleanup

Find distracting mistakes, repeated punctuation problems, spelling slips, and sentence-level issues that make a manuscript feel less polished.

A report you can review

The free tier gives you a change report so you can see what was suggested and decide how to apply the edits in your own manuscript file.

A path to deeper editing

If the proofread shows your draft needs more than cleanup, you can move into Pro Edit or Complete Edit for line-level suggestions and broader feedback.

Free proofread vs. Pro Edit

The free proofread is for obvious correctness issues. Pro Edit goes further into flow, clarity, word choice, consistency, and track-changes style review.

Privacy and manuscript control

Your manuscript remains yours. BookEditor is built for private author workflows, and you stay in control of which suggestions make it into the final draft.
