In today’s highly competitive market, a good first impression is vitally important. There’s nothing more off-putting than literature or a website littered with grammatical errors and typos. Tough as it may seem, it only takes one tiny mistake for your professional credibility to be harshly judged. Having your literature professionally proofread gives you peace of mind that you are presenting a flawless image to make you stand out from the crowd. I offer a bespoke proofreading and proof-editing service to provide you with a polished and professional end product.
I trained with the Publishing Training Centre (PTC) and am an Intermediate Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP) – the ‘gold standard’ in proofreading and editing excellence. I am experienced in proofreading and proof-editing all kinds of material including full length books, student theses, company magazines, annual reports, strategy documents, press releases, PowerPoint presentations, white papers and web copy. I have proof-edited a great deal of literature prepared by non-native English speakers to improve grammar and clarity.
I have an honours degree in Biology and have had an extensive career in the clinical healthcare sector. I am therefore confident in proofreading technical text, scientific literature and references, as well as being skilled at working to urgent deadlines.
All of my work is done electronically, meaning I can work with maximum efficiency regardless of your location in the world. I look forward to working with you.
