Louise McGuinness – Proofreader

Professional, experienced member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.

Professionally trained with the Publishing Training Centre, I am a passionate proofreader of fiction and non-fiction for both adults and children, as well as travel guidebooks for destinations all around the world. I strongly believe in the need for all published books to be accurate and consistent for their readers. A natural, meticulous and highly motivated proofreader, I will scrutinise your book, document or publication with the intricate attention to detail that only a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional can.

I offer adaptable and flexible working methods:
– proofreading blind or against copy;
– using BSI proofreading symbols on page or PDF;
– using commenting tools in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC;
– using Track Changes in Microsoft Word.

My recent clients include the publishers SilverWood Books, Summersdale, Conscious Dreams Publishing and Bradt Guides. Prior to my freelance career I have a strong foundation in proofreading travel marketing material for Wyndham Vacation Rentals UK.
