I am a qualified and experienced proofreader and copy-editor working with publishers, authors, academics and businesses.
We all make mistakes when writing, and when we read our own work back, the eye often sees what it wants to see, rather than what’s actually there. These mistakes distract the reader and cause them to lose faith in the writer.
This is where I come in. I will proofread your text, correcting any errors, inconsistencies or ambiguities, allowing your message to shine through.
I always respect your voice and style of writing, and you will have the final say on all suggested edits.
I work on a wide range of materials from books, journals, theses and dissertations to blogs, newsletters and magazines.
