Harry originally approached me to proofread Lôn Cof, a middle-grade/YA fantasy-horror novel. During the initial proofread, it became apparent that the manuscript would benefit from a greater level of intervention.

In addition to proofreading the text, I carried out copy-editing where appropriate and raised author queries where passages required clarification or further consideration. Harry incorporated the agreed changes and made additional revisions in response to my queries. I then carried out a further proofreading pass on the revised manuscript before publication.

Lôn Cof is independently published and available on Amazon.

“With a laser eye, John Philcox works above and beyond to ensure your work is its best. From day one to end of proofreading Lôn Cof, he has been professional, punctual and kind. I recommend anyone seeking John's services to contact him.”

– Harry Williams, author of Lôn Cof

Following my work on Lôn Cof, Harry asked me to work with him again on The Box of Worlds, a fantasy-horror short story for younger readers.

I proof-edited and proofread the manuscript, checking spelling, grammar, punctuation and consistency while also suggesting improvements to wording, sentence construction and readability where appropriate.
