Proofreading & Copy Editing

Careful, reliable proofreading and copy editing for reports, proposals, CVs and other important documents.

I work with UK and international clients, providing a professional final review that improves clarity, consistency and presentation while retaining your voice.

Proofreading

Proofreading is a final, careful check before a document is shared. I look for spelling, punctuation, grammar, typographical and consistency issues, and check that the layout is clear and professional.

Copy Editing

Copy editing is a more in-depth service that improves clarity, structure, consistency and readability while retaining your intended voice. It can include suggestions on wording, sentence flow and the overall presentation of the document.

Good proofreading and copy editing should improve accuracy and clarity without flattening your voice. My aim is to make each document fit for purpose, easy to read and unmistakably yours.

Documents I can help with

I work with a wide range of business and professional documents, including reports, proposals, tender responses, CVs, policies, procedures, presentations and website copy.

Support for non-native English writers

I also support writers for whom English is not their first language, helping documents read clearly, accurately and professionally while preserving the intended meaning and voice.

How I work

I normally use tracked changes, so you can see suggested amendments and decide which to accept. Documents can be supplied in Word, PowerPoint, PDF or Google Docs; please get in touch if you use another format.

Discuss your document

Please get in touch with the document type, approximate word count and your required timescale. I will let you know how I can help and provide a clear quote where appropriate.
