I am a qualified proofreader and Entry-Level Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). I have five years’ experience of proofreading a range of documents. You can contact me for help with:
Fictional writing
Manuscripts
Business/academic reports
Theses (PhD), dissertations, essays
Magazine/news articles
Marketing materials
Website content/blogs
I can carry out proofreading in:
Microsoft Word (using Track Changes)
Digital PDF documents (using Comments editing or official BS 5261-2 proofreading marks)
I have a special interest in scientific topics and health and have been a contributing editor for digital magazine I-Spectrum and helped a writer with a travel blog.
My work background is in Marketing and Communications and my education in Psychology.
If you are an international writer I have vast experience in proofreading English which has been translated from another language.
I have a strong work ethic and thoroughly enjoy the work I do. Proofreading is what I have been building up to for the whole of my career. I am a grammar geek at heart and I am at your service to put your documents right, so please contact me with your request for proofreading (no matter how large or small).
Laura was brilliant for my novel – before the project even started she laid out to me her expectations and time requirements and read through a sample chapter before providing a quote. Her communication was great throughout, and by the time my manuscript was handed back, there were hundreds of easy to work through track changes, suggestions for edits on clunky lines, and continuity corrections. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, and will be using her again for future books.
Laura worked with us on a report earlier this year and her proofreading undoubtedly led to an improved report. Her proofreading not only met the deadline but was excellent and thorough, and she provided clear comments to explain suggested edits/ changes which were really helpful in the review process. Many thanks to Laura and we would undoubtedly approach her in future for further proofreading work.
Just brilliant, Laura is a dedicated professional who has made a significant contribution to the quality of the finished novel – I simply wouldn’t go anywhere else. An absolute star!
We’re a national charity and were seeking a proof reader to help with proofing of our national training materials.
Laura was extremely quick at responding to my request. She was very diligent and turned around the work very quickly.
I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to call on her again for future work.
I was extremely pleased with the proofreading that Laura did for me on the Plastic Paradigm and Shades of Loyalty. Her attention to detail was second to none. She understood the project well and respected my work as the author while suggesting notable improvements. I can without hesitation highly recommend her work.
I work as an independent agent, and I have worked with Laura more than a half year since this April. Laura is an excellent proofreader who always pays attention to details. And I really appreciate that Laura can always keep fast turnaround. The works I sent to Laura were all from the students who are speaking English as a second language.
Laura is an excellent proofreader, she helped me with my travel proyect. I was very satisfied with her work because she is responsible and flexible worker and high quality of her work guarantees success.
