About Lynne
Featured
* Proofreading and proof-editing for businesses, academics and students *
I am a full-time freelance proofreader and proof-editor with experience of working on company literature (including website copy, newsletters, reports and brochures), journal articles, student theses and dissertations, magazine articles and non-fiction books. My aim is to provide businesses, academics, students and self-publishing authors with an efficient and reliable service that meets their needs.
My specialisms and interests include history (in particular, 19th and 20th century political and social history), politics, humanities, social sciences, and country and rock music. I am, however, happy to work with most subjects. I am able to work using track changes on MS Word, on PDFs or on hard copy (either blind or against copy) using BSI symbols.
Before becoming a freelance proofreader I spent over 25 years working in administration for various companies. I am therefore used to working to tight deadlines and am aware of the needs of businesses. During this time I learnt the importance of flexibility, attention to detail and excellent customer service.

I have used proofreaders in the past but Lynne is outstanding. She understood what I was doing and took time to look at it bit by bit. Her work is professional and she added value to my work.

Lynne proofread, corrected, etc. our Dyslexia Award category descriptions, very happy with her work, she took time to understand what was wanted and the ethos behind the awards as well as listened to our needs. Thank you Lynne.
