I offer proofreading and copy-editing for businesses, charities, other organisations and other non-fiction authors. Whatever you’re writing, it’s very common to become so familiar with your work that proofreading it effectively is impossible. It is very difficult to spot things such as cut-and-paste errors, words or phrases that are repeated so often that they become monotonous, and spelling and punctuation issues. My job is to spot problems and suggest options for editing them. I will do so sensitively, bearing in mind the style of writing that’s being used and the target readers. Copy-editing is often needed in addition to proofreading.
Businesses, charities and other organisations
Anything that you are presenting to the general public, your business partners or other organisations, your current customers, potential customers or your staff is very likely to benefit from being copy-edited, proof-edited and/or proofread. Examples of the types of documents I could work on are as follows:
- reports
- training documents
- brochures, catalogues and magazines

Other non-fiction authors
I can work for all sorts of authors, so if you don’t fit into the descriptions above, I’m sure I can still help you out. Just get in touch by sending me your document by email and we can take it from there. My details are on the contact page here
