I proofread writing by checking for errors and inconsistencies in punctuation, spelling, grammar, context and sense.
My CIEP training in proofreading (see Meet Annie) taught me to:
- check writing on screen using Track Changes in Word and using commenting tools in Adobe Reader.
- use BSI symbols.
What to do next …
- Contact me to make initial enquiries and discuss your requirements, sending me a small sample (minimum of 1,000 words) from the middle of the document to give me an idea of the subject and quality of the writing.
- I give a no-obligation quote for the job depending on the level of intervention.
- The document will be proofread, within a given time frame, with clear corrections, any queries, and an invoice sent.
- Payment of the invoice is by bank transfer. Payment details will be on the invoice.
