Louise H

I’m a freelance proofreader with a first-class Honours degree in Business and Management.

I’m an entry-level member of, and trained with, the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) and I adhere to their Code of Practice. I achieved a distinction in my proofreading training.

My competencies include proofreading using Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat and the BSI proofreading marks.

When proofreading I check for the following:
​errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation
typographical errors
poor syntax
inconsistency in spelling, hyphenation, numerals, fonts and capitalisation
non-adherence to preferred style guide/house style
errors in page numbering, tables, illustrations and their captions
formatting errors
bad word-breaks
missing or repeated text
wrongly-placed or incorrect captions and annotations.
