What Is Proofreading?

Proofreading is the checking of written material for any errors before publication. A proofreader will check for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and presentation.

We can proofread:

• CVs
• Webpages
• Press releases 
• Books
• Brochures
• Leaflets
• Other promotional literature
• Short stories
• Newspaper or magazine articles
• Essays
• Dissertations

...and more. 

"Why Do I Need A Proofreader?" You Ask

Careless spelling and grammatical mistakes can spoil your professional image. Too often work is sent for publishing without correct proofing. Spellcheckers for example may pick up spelling mistakes but they can miss incorrect usage. For example, the words their, there and they’re are often confused, as are its and it’s, who’s and whose, him and hymn. All are spelt correctly but each word is used in a different context. Often the author will make errors and they will not be noticed until it’s too late. We’re here to find them – before it’s too late.

How To Get Your Work Proofread

Contact us with details of the work to be proofread. Computer-based work can be sent as MS Word or text documents, pdfs or image files. If your work is website-based, send us the website url. If you have work that is NOT computer-based, email us for more details. Text can be corrected on paper using longhand comments or the BS proofreading symbols or on screen using tracked changes. We can adapt to suit your needs.

We will check for the following:

• Spelling
• Punctuation
• Grammar
• Formatting

...and correct any errors.
