Due to personal reasons I will not be taking on any work at the moment.
Thank you for your understanding.
I am a qualified freelance proofreader and copy editor with an eye for detail, specialising in:
- Policies and Procedures
- Risk Assessments
- Books (fiction and e-books)
- Thesis and dissertations
- Leaflets
- Websites
- Brochures
- Documents
- Blogs.
What I look for...
Proofreading:
- Typesetting errors
- Poor spelling
- Checking basic grammar and punctuation
- Incomplete formatting
- Misuse of capitalisation
- Formatting
- English rules and conventions.
But most importantly – I keep your voice yours.
Copy editing:
All the above plus the following:
- Fact-checking
- Checking names and figures
- Checking errors and inconsistencies
- Checking your work speaks in a single consistent voice
- Ensuring your work is within the word limit (if applicable).
I work in Microsoft Word with Track Changes and Adobe PDF with highlights and comments, or BSI Symbols
Just a bit about me
I am a degree-level graduate in Business Management and have held several senior secretarial/PA positions throughout my career at a range of companies. I am now a self-employed proofreader.
I am now a qualified proofreader and an Entry-level member of CIEP. I graduated with a diploma in Proofreading and editing from the College of Media and Publishing (CMP).
Why a change in career to proofreading and copy editing?
Well...the mother of one of my very good friends is a budding author, and upon reading her first published work, I noticed several mistakes. This sparked my interest in proofreading and editing.
