Why hire a
Proofreader
A proofreader removes errors in text which can polish your professional image. We can reduce ambiguity, so you know you are saying what you think you're saying. We also ensure consistency in style. All this saves money and time leaving you doing what you're good at.

WHat is
Proof-editing
Proofreading is normally the final stage before publication. However, if your work will only be published digitally it may better suit a proof-edit, which is a sort of proofreading and copy-editing hybrid where a light edit will be done with the proofread. I am happy to do this for you.

Talking about
Pricing
Before I start work, we will agree a price for the project and exactly what work this covers. I am happy to do a sample proofread, which will help me to work out an accurate cost and give you an idea of my style and whether you think we will be a good fit.
