Proofreading Service
As a professional proofreader, it is my responsibility to:
- identify and correct spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors;
- check consistency of spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation;
- ensure consistency in format - headings, paragraphing, spacing, etc.;
- remove misleading word breaks;
- ensure all pages, tables, graphs, etc. are present and correctly numbered.
I closely follow my client's brief and am always respectful of the author's style.
The types of document I am able to proofread include:
- fiction;
- non-fiction;
- academic and professional text;
- brochures and marketing material;
- annual reports;
- articles and newsletters;
- website content.
I am able to proofread 'against copy' or 'blind', on screen or on paper and am trained in the use of the British Standard BS:5261C proofreading symbols.
Fees
Rates are negotiable and dependent upon the length of the document (typically number of words), the extent of the work required and the timescales involved. As a guide, rates are typically in the region of £8.00 per thousand words, and in line with the CIEP suggested minimum rates.
