I pride myself on my forensic proofreading methods and always work in harmony with your brief, style guide and narrative preference.
What type of errors do I look for in your text?
- Typos
- Poor spelling
- Bad punctuation
- Incomplete formatting
- Misuse of capitalisation
How does the initial process work?
- You send me a sample of the text you would like to be proofread. Preferably, a sample from the middle of your document.
- After reviewing your document, I will contact you to discuss vital details relating to your brief.
- My proposal will be sent to you, detailing the work process, fees and timescales for job completion.
After you’ve agreed to my proposal, what happens next?
I proofread your text, looking for the above mentioned errors, and then I make suggestions of improvements to your written work. You can accept or decline these suggestions, but I’ll only make recommendations that are substantiated by a dictionary, grammar book or other key reference work. Please note: I also check all source quotations and references.
Work can be proofread and tracked in Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat or Google Docs. I can also work with most in-house systems or CMS.
