I am a highly professional and skilled proofreader specialising in the book industry. I have completed work for many UK based publishers such as Embla Books, Flame Tree Publishing, Salariya Book Company and Dinosaur Books.

I bring my passion for the written word to every project I work on and I always feel privileged to play a part in bringing an author’s vision to life.

Here’s what one of my clients had to say:

‘Jamie’s communications were friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. He demonstrated the ability to work with a varied range of texts and to provide valuable feedback on punctuation, grammar and consistency.’

Nick Pierce, Editor at The Salariya Book Company

My qualifications include: the Essential Proofreading course from the Publishing Training Centre (merit level); a Journalism Diploma from the NCTJ (National Council for the Training of Journalists); and a BA Hons Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. I have previously worked as a sub-editor, a freelance journalist and a copywriter.

I can proofread Word documents using tracked changes, PDF files using markup tools, and on paper using the British Standards Institution’s (BSI) proof-correction marks.

I have a set pricing structure, with a cap that will be agreed between us in advance, so that you always know the maximum you will have to pay. As a member of CIEP (Chartered Institute of Editing and Publishing), I adhere to their Code of Practice, which ensures the highest professional and ethical standards.

I always deliver to budget and to brief, working to any style you may have. I pride myself on my calm, patient and friendly manner, as I believe that strong working relationships based on trust are crucial to the success of any project.

‘Jamie’s proofreading service was invaluable in correcting the mistakes that had crept into our manuscript. Even though I had been over it carefully many times, Jamie spotted the inevitable errors that occur when a book is being readied for press. He removed grammatical errors and typos but he did more – he also improved the readability of the manuscript by flagging up inconsistencies and continuity issues. Jamie was also timely and a pleasure to work with – very prompt in answering queries and in delivering the work. I would highly recommend his services.’

Sonya McGilchrist, Editor, Dinosaur Books Ltd
