“Working with Tim Seabrook and Fifth Ring Press on the proofread of my trilogy was the kind of experience every author hopes for. His eye is remarkable — he caught subtle continuity issues across the manuscript that I’d hoped no one would notice, along with the small mechanical inconsistencies that are so easy to miss in a book of this length.
What sets Tim apart is everything he provides alongside the corrections. The annotated manuscript made his queries clear and easy to act on, the detailed style sheet became an indispensable reference for maintaining consistency, and his list of repeated words helped me polish the prose at a level I wouldn’t have reached on my own. Each of these resources added real value.
Beyond the quality of the work, his turnaround was impressively quick, and he was thorough professional throughout. I always knew exactly where things stood and felt confident the manuscript was in expert hands. I recommend Tim’s proofreading services wholeheartedly and look forward to working with him on future books.” Sherilyn Decter, author.
“I had a wonderful experience working with Tim Seabrook on my novel. He brought a careful, professional eye to the manuscript, catching the kinds of small but important errors that are so easy to miss after you’ve been living with a project for a long time. I felt confident the final manuscript was cleaner, stronger, and more polished because of his keen attention to detail. I would happily recommend Tim to any writer looking for a reliable and skilled proofreader.” Kevin T. Johns, author.
“I’ve used Tim several times for my non-fiction copyediting and proofreading. His work is thorough and has a quick turnaround, which is perfect for a deadline driven author like myself. I would highly recommend his services!” Katlyn Duncan, author.
“Tim’s super power is his attention to detail. He picks up on typos and formatting errors that are easily missed by mere mortals, and he does it with inhuman speed. His thorough and constructive feedback has helped me grow as a writer and I will definitely work with him again. If you want a polished, ready to publish, manuscript—I recommend reaching out to Tim Seabrook.” Jay Renee Lawrence, author.
“Tim’s enthusiasm about writing, and his meticulous attention to detail make him a valuable ally. If you’re working towards publication, I strongly recommend that you seek his services rather than trying to go it alone.” E A Deverell, author.
“Tim Seabrook is my editor. The man I trust to see what is on the page, not what my eyes paint for my mind to read. I have a working relationship which stretches back to 2010, covering six books and again that word trust must be used. When we initially present our heart’s work to another, courage requires conviction that those we pass it to will be both intelligent enough to understand and impartial enough to point out misprints not perceived mistakes. The very reason Tim was, is, and will be my editor. I do recommend he be yours.” R D Lomax, author.
“Tim has the kind of eye for detail I can only dream about. Time and again he’ll pick up typos, errors and formatting issues that I haven’t seen despite going over my manuscripts dozens of times. His turnaround time is exceptionally fast compared to other proofreaders and editors and he’s honestly a joy to work with. I highly recommend his services to any author at any level.” Sacha Black, author.
