Louise McGuinness – Proofreader

Professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. Proofreading specialist with a Publishing Training Centre distinction.

You’ve done all the hard work to conceptualise, write and rewrite your book.
It has been edited, copy-edited and perhaps designed or illustrated.
That’s where I come in, before or after typesetting as you require.
You can rely on me to be the last person in the editing chain.
Adult, young adult and children’s fiction and non-fiction.
From crime to historical, fantasy to rhyme, memoir to gift book and travel!

A natural and meticulous proofreader, I offer a professional service resulting in accuracy and consistency throughout. Your book will get that final attention to detail before your readers dive in.

All proofreading working methods:
– BSI proofreading symbols on page or PDF
– commenting tools in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
– Track Changes in Microsoft Word.

Please get in touch at [email protected]. I will be delighted to discuss an upcoming project with you.

“I’ve used Louise on a number of projects and she would be my go-to proofreader. She spots things that others don’t; it’s not just typos and grammar but formatting and clarity issues. I would not hesitate to use Louise again. She helps me publish with confidence.” – Shirley Day, author

“Louise is a consistent and reliable proofreader with a keen eye for detail and a proven track record of preparing manuscripts well according to house style.” – SilverWood Books, publisher
