If your document needs a first read through or a final check, I will provide a thorough and reliable service. I will check for correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar to enable you to publish and share with confidence
I place a high level of importance on attention to detail, as well as providing an efficient and professional service. I will treat all of your material with confidentiality

Proofreading is typicallys one after a manuscript has been copyedited. I will focus on catching any errors that slippied through the editing stage including the following:

Grammatical mistakes, Run-on sentences, Punctuation and Quotation marks, Sentence Fragments and Lengths, Spelling, Apostrophes, Comma usage, Consistency of Capitalisation and Hyphenation, Tenses, Repeated or missing words, American or British English, Correct word usage, Formatting issues with font size and style and Cross referencing errors

Proofreading is the last step in the editorial process – the final quality check.

I use the Track Changes function in Microsoft Word, allowing you to review my amendments and accept or reject them as you see fit
