​Proofreader
Picture
Whether you’re a business or an individual, a marketing manager or an author, you want to make sure that what you’ve written is error free and provides the best possible impression of you or your organisation. And that’s where I come in.

With more than 20 years' copyediting and proofreading experience, working both in-house and as a freelancer, I will make sure that your book, play, website, journal article, thesis, grant proposal, job application, CV, or whatever else you have poured your heart, soul and time into is the very best that it can be.


Who will benefit from my services? 
Anyone who has written a text in English to be read by other people and who wants it to be perfect.

What will I check for?
Among other things, I will look out for
  • correct spelling/grammar/punctuation
  • coherence
  • appropriateness of language for the intended audience
  • consistency of spelling and hyphenation for names/foreign terms, etc.
  • omissions/inconsistencies in typography, layout and content
  • accuracy of cross-references
  • clumsy/confusing wording, column or page breaks
  • correct illustrations/captions, etc.
For a comprehensive list of what to expect from me as a professional copyeditor and proofreader, please see here.

How will I check?
If you send me
  • a Word document, I'll use 'Track Changes'
  • a PDF document, I'll use Adobe Acrobat Reader's commenting and markup tools
  • a hard copy, I'll use the BSI proof-correction marks
Whichever format you choose, you will be able to see every change I have made.

Want to make sure your text is error free? Then get in touch. I’m here to help.
