JJ Proofreading

I am a highly professional and skilled proofreader specialising in the book and self-publishing industries.

Here’s what my most recent client 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 or PDF files using markup tools, or on paper using the British Standards Institution’s (BSI) proof-correction marks.

My rates are fair and cater to all budgets. I have a ranged pricing structure, with an agreed cap so that you always know the maximum you will have to pay.

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.
