Kate Smith Proofreading

Freelance proofreader, CIEP qualified,
offering a friendly, professional service to businesses, non-profit organisations, students, authors and publishers.

Are you worried about the accuracy or the consistency of your writing? Spell-checking and grammar tools don’t pick up everything. Do you need some help formatting your document? Or perhaps you just don’t have time to give your work that final check. Allow me to help; I won’t judge – we all sometimes need a helping hand or an independent review. If your work is important to you then it deserves the attention.

I can work on your publications, reports, brochures, applications, articles, website content, blogs, essays, dissertations, theses, CVs etc.

Whether in PDF, Word or hard copy format, I can check your work for punctuation, grammar, spelling, consistency and layout (including academic references, fact checking, numbers, tables, figures and captions).

My fees will vary according to the level of intervention, technical content and urgency of turnaround.

Email me with details of your project, including the content type, word count and the deadline, and I will get back to you promptly to discuss your requirements and my fees and availability.
