PROOFREADING

WHAT IS PROOFREADING?

 

Proofreading is typically the final stage in the process – it may involve checking and marking up a PDF once a publication is at the design stage. Proofreaders fix literal errors and formatting inconsistencies. They perform final checks on spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation, page counts, page breaks and headers/footers. Proofreaders are typically the last line of defence before a publication is printed. 

​

HOW CAN I HELP YOU? 

​

I am a qualified proofreader with a wealth of experience working for colleges, universities, businesses and private individuals. Past projects include dissertations, academic papers, journal articles, book manuscripts, magazines, CVs, websites, flyers, brochures, letters, personal statements, white papers and high-level reports. I can work with any academic style, ensuring it is applied throughout the document. I can also apply my own house style.
