CopyKate Proofreading

Hi, I’m Katie Froggatt, a qualified and experienced freelance proofreader.

Ensuring your copy is accurate, easy-to-read and consistent is essential whatever line of business you are in. No matter how much effort you’ve put into something, even the smallest slip-up can distract your reader from your message or pitch. If you’ve already spent many hours on a project and are too familiar with it to notice any errors, or if time and resources in-house are limited, proofreading is the perfect task to outsource. Here’s a broad outline of what I will do if you hire me to look at your copy:

– Check for any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors
– Check that the text is consistent throughout (names, formatting, etc.)
– Make sure it adheres to any required house style or formatting
– Highlight all corrections in the way most convenient to you
– Work in the format that suits you, such as Word, PDF or Google Docs

I’m a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) and have a Distinction in Proofreading from The Publishing Training Centre.

My specialist areas of knowledge are television, business, marketing, public relations, retail and fashion – I am a business/marketing graduate from the London College of Fashion – but I am happy to consider projects from any industry. I’m also experienced in working with non-native English speakers on improving and optimising copy that’s been translated into English. ​
