Proofreading
and Copy Editing
Words are vital tools in the world of communication, education and
literary success; words can tell a story and invoke emotion; words,
when used correctly, can project yourself as a professional and
capable individual. Similarly, poor use of language, sentence structure,
punctuation, grammar and spelling, can all trigger a negative response
from your audience, be it a reader of your latest novel or article,
a tutor grading your dissertation, or a prospective employer reviewing
your curriculum vitae. It is with these situations in mind that
I am able to offer proofreading, editing, and writing solutions
to fit yourself, your situation and your goal.
Unlike many other proofreaders and editors, I am trained, qualified
and experienced. I see that every document is heavily edited with
attention paid to all required areas, while maintaining the author's
voice, tone and style. I do not charge per error, per alteration,
or by the hour I consider it to be far fairer to charge a
standard rate, dependent only on word count. Works are completed
within an agreed timescale and can even be edited urgently using
the Express
Service I offer.
Timely and cost-effective, Proof Edit's freelance editing services
are completed to the highest of standards, ensuring clients receive
documents which are highly improved.
As
a general outline, I offer two services: Proofreading, and Copy
Editing, which consist of the checks and amendments as detailed
below.
