As the last line of defense before publication, proofreaders perform a book's final read just before publication. A proofreader examines the designed, typeset version of your book, which will most likely be a PDF from the InDesign publishing program or else hard-copy page proofs, and will not only catch typos and confirm the copyeditor's decisions but will scan for additional typographical issues — line breaks, widows, word breaks, headers and footers, page numbering, headings, and font consistency. The proofreading process is performed after all others edits, including developmental editing and copyediting/line editing, and after the book's layout has been finalized.
