How Your Free Proofread Works
Three simple steps to a cleaner manuscript
Upload Your Manuscript
Upload a DOCX or TXT manuscript from your account. The free proofread is designed for book drafts, not generic documents.
AI Analyzes Your Text
Our AI identifies typos, grammar issues, and style improvements in just minutes.
Download Your Report
Receive a detailed spreadsheet showing every suggested change with explanations.
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 you want the corrections applied to a downloadable Word file, choose $49 Proofread & Apply. Move into Pro or Complete when the draft also needs line-level or developmental work.
Free report vs. paid editing
The free proofread is a suggestions-only report. $49 Proofread & Apply adds review and an edited DOCX; Pro adds flow, clarity, word choice, and a book-wide consistency style sheet.
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.
