Katie Froggatt | CopyKate

I'm a freelance proofreader with 15+ years' experience working with a variety of B2B and B2C clients, ranging from household names such as ITV Studios to small independent businesses.

Ensuring your copy is accurate, easy-to-read and consistent is essential whatever line of business you're in. No matter how much effort you've put into something, even the smallest slip-up can distract your reader.

If you've already spent many hours on a project and are too familiar with it to notice any errors, or if time and resources in-house are limited, proofreading is the perfect task to outsource. Here’s a broad outline of what I will do if you hire me to look at your copy:

• Check for any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors
• Check that the text is consistent throughout (names, formatting, etc.)
• Make sure it adheres to any required house style or formatting
• Highlight all corrections in the way most convenient to you
• Work in the format that suits you, such as Word or PDF

I can help with all types of copy, from short product descriptions and blog posts to more detailed white papers and reports. My specialist areas of knowledge are television, business, marketing, public relations, retail and fashion – I am a business/marketing graduate from the London College of Fashion – but I am happy to consider projects from any industry. I'm also experienced in working with non-native English speakers on improving and optimising copy that's been translated into English. ​
