Do you need professional proofreading services? My name is Annie Deakins and I am a freelance proofreader.
I have trained extensively to proofread writing. I check errors and inconsistencies in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and context, giving you a reliable, efficient and valuable proofreading service.
Adaptable and distinctive, education is my specialism. With my long career as a teacher, I understand how teaching and learning happens.
I am adaptable to your needs. I offer distinctive specialisms, especially children’s books.
Have a look around my website. Are you my kind of client? Get in touch if you think we would be a good fit.
But, I won’t suit all projects. If I can’t proofread your project, I know someone who can …
My kind of client:
Do you need a proofreader for primary or secondary learning materials? Do you need a proofreader for ELT digital materials?
Have you written a book for children? Do you need a proofreader?
Are you presenting writing for the public or for your company? Does your website need proofreading services?
Have you written a dissertation or thesis? Does it need proofreading?
