About Louise
Hi, I’m Louise, a fiction and non-fiction proofreading specialist. A natural and meticulous proofreader, I offer a professional service resulting in accuracy and consistency throughout. Your book will get that final attention to detail before your readers dive in. I proofread adult and children’s fiction, all kinds of non-fiction and travel literature. Whatever the subject or genre, your book will be in professional hands.
If you're an independent author, wondering whether I am the next step for you, I can confirm the invaluable part I will play in your book journey. You’ve done all the hard work to conceptualise, write and rewrite your book. It has been edited, copy-edited and perhaps designed or illustrated. That’s where I come in, before or after typesetting as you require. You can rely on me to be the last person in the editing chain.
Please get in touch at [email protected]. I will be delighted to discuss an upcoming project with you.

Testimonials
I’ve used Louise on a number of projects and she would be my go-to proofreader. She spots things that others don’t; it’s not just typos and grammar but formatting and clarity issues. I would not hesitate to use Louise again. She helps me publish with confidence. Shirley Day, author
Louise is a consistent and reliable proofreader with a keen eye for detail and a proven track record of preparing manuscripts well according to house style. SilverWood Books, publisher
