Professional proofreading services: providing that final check your documents need
Even the most careful writers miss errors or inconsistencies in their own work. No matter how many times we check our own documents, it is easy to skim over things and read what we meant to write. This doesn’t always match what we actually wrote!
My proofreading service will give you peace of mind. I will use my fresh and professionally trained pair of eyes to give your text a final polish, making sure that it is clear, consistent and accurate.
What do you get with my proofreading service?
I can offer you a fresh and professional pair of eyes, trained by the Publishing Training Centre, the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (now known as the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading) and Plain English Campaign. I will mark up amendments in a way that suits your needs. This most commonly means Track Changes in Word or PDF Comments, but I also have accreditation in using the BSI proofreading symbols. If I need to pass editorial decisions back to you, I will do so through clear queries. I can work to your style guide if you have one. The level of my intervention is up to you, and isn’t limited to the traditional definition of proofreading. I am more than happy to do some light editing if this is what you need.

How much will it cost?
Because each project is different, so is each price.
Costs depend on what level of work I need to put in and how long it is likely to take. To determine this, I’ll listen to your needs and ask what you’re aiming for. I can offer options for different ways of approaching your project, and can work in stages to accommodate your timescales and budget.
My proofreading and editing prices are in line with the minimum rates suggested by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.
