I can assist with copy-editing and proofreading as combined or stand-alone services.

Copy-editing

In Microsoft Word, I will:

• Edit at a line-by-line level.

• Focus on grammar, spelling and punctuation.

• Fact-check and raise any accuracy issues.

• Amend formatting discrepancies.

• Ensure your text flows clearly and engagingly.

Proofreading

Using your text's final, typeset format, I will:

• Catch any final errors in text or formatting

•  Check elements such as page numbers, contents and margins as well as pick up on any last spelling and grammatical errors.

• Mark-up your typeset pages in Adobe Acrobat or a format that suits you and your final design.

Rates

I will work with you to tailor a quote taking into account the project's complexity and urgency. I base my rates on those recommended by the Institute of Professional Editors on the early-career end of the spectrum.

Feel free to contact me and we can discuss! 

You'll recieve

I use Mircosoft Word track changes to copy-edit so you can easily review feedback. For proofreading, I will work with the file you provide to deliver markups. Where suitable, I provide a personalised Style Guide so you can ensure any future edits you make are consistent. This can be helpful for longer texts or ongoing projects such as websites. Equally, I can work with your organisation's existing style guide.
