proof politic

If you are looking for help in the final stages of your academic, business or science fiction project, you have come to the right place.

Most writers tweak their work so much that they know there are issues in there that they can no longer even see. This is where I can help you. I can take that all that writing off your hands for a while and help you cleanse it of errors, ensuring that your final product is finished to the highest standard possible.

I am a freelance proofreader for writers, students, academics and businesses. I specialise in governance and business documentation, history, ancient history and archaeology, and science fiction.

The kinds of things I will work on include:

* Business documents (marketing materials, bids, reports, proposals, presentations)

* Training materials

* Academic reports (theses or dissertations)

* Novels and short stories

* Newsletters

* CVs

If you’re working on something that you don’t see in this list, don’t worry; contact me anyway.

I generally proofread UK English digitally, using MS Word (using tracked changes) or Adobe Acrobat (using comments). However, I am also happy to proofread digitally or on paper using British Standards Institution (BSI) proof-correction symbols.

If you would need me to use another format, just let me know; it’s unlikely to be a problem.

As a member and trainee of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, I work to the standards enshrined in the CIEP Code of Practice. More information about how I work, my background and my pricing is available on my website.

What are you working on? Let’s see if we can get it finished together.
