Proofreading
What is proofreading?
Proofreaders fix literal errors and formatting inconsistencies. They perform final checks on spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation, page counts, page breaks, and headers/footers. They are the last line of defence before a publication is printed.
How can I help you?
If you're a college, university, academic, charity, or business, I will help you to publish with confidence. I will bring my 17+ years of experience working on dissertations, papers, book drafts, websites, brochures, white papers, and reports to your project. Just give me your style guide and leave the rest to me.

"It was excellent to have her as a trusted second pair of eyes..."
Amanda ... was always quick to respond to emails, and always met her deadlines and did a very thorough job. I felt comfortable giving her work because I knew she would take time to understand the job well before starting and question anything she felt could be improved. It was excellent to have her as a trusted second pair of eyes on publications.
