Tarot & oracle deck proofreading
Your cards tell a story.
Let’s keep your readers captivated.
You didn’t design a document. You created a world.
Tarot and oracle decks aren’t just artwork and answers.
Pretty pictures and a guidebook? They ain’t.
They’re what happens when an idea yanks you by the hoodie and refuses to let go until you’ve wrangled your loop-the-loop of lived experience into something people can shuffle to navigate their own real-world waltzer.
That’s a hell of a lot to jam into a potent package more petite than a pain au chocolat.
I make sure all those details you’ve carefully combined work together so your readers tune into their intuition, not the inconsistencies.
Tarot and oracle deck proofreading starts from £300.
What I review (and might find…)
◑ Card & guidebook alignment
The guidebook sends readers to Card 27. There is no Card 27. That was cut moons ago when the design fitted but the message wasn’t powerful enough.
◑ Language
The guidebook describes a golden fern that glows. Or does it grow? One word changes the entire imagery.
◑ Consistency
All card name capitalisations are the same across the deck, guidebook, spreads and any accompanying materials.
◑ Content
The spread instructions mention a downloadable companion worksheet, but the exclusive bonus link doesn’t exist.
◑ Reader experience
A card spread instruction can be interpreted in two completely different ways because accidental punctuation made its way in. (You didn’t intentionally invite that party pooper.)
◑ Proofreading
Everything included in my standard proofreading service.
Why it matters
Your readers aren’t flicking through your guidebook like there’s only last week’s Bella in the hairdresser’s.
They’ve asked a question, shuffled with purpose and pulled their cards. This is an intentional date with their intuition. A little flirt with fortune.
So when a typo, contradicting symbol or iffy page reference shows up, their focus shifts from intuitive to analytical.
The magic?
Gone quicker than a first date after you whip out your human design app.
That’s not why you created this world.
You created it for clarity, not confusion.
What you’ll get…
✦ A reviewed document showing suggested amendments for errors and inconsistencies.
✦ Comments highlighting queries, potential issues and anything that needs your attention.
✦ A style sheet recording editorial decisions for consistency throughout your document and future content.
✦ A final review from someone looking for the details you’ve stopped noticing.
You’ve created a world that can be shuffled in the palm of your hand. That’s some wow.
I make sure the details work together so your readers tune into their intuition, not the inconsistencies.
