Proofreading

A proofreader receives the proof after it has been designed, edited, and typeset, and checks and corrects text and layout.

My proofreading service includes:

  • Reading for sense
  • Checking spelling and grammar
  • Correcting other typographical errors
  • Noting inconsistencies of style
  • Checking textual presentation
  • Drawing the editor's attention to any other issues.

How it works

A good proofreader is always aware of the author's chosen style, and a close read will identify any inconsistencies which might have been missed through rewrites or revisions.

Queries wll be included on an accompanying sheet upon the return of the corrected proofs. I use the first choice of the Oxford English Dictionary for corrections, unless otherwise specified.

I treat my work for clients like a partnership, so you will always receive the best customer service. If you'd like to talk to me, you'll find a number of ways to contact me below, including a contact form and phone numbers.
