Proofreading

Even the best and most accomplished writers and editors need someone else to proofread their work.

Spellcheck software and even grammar-check software cannot replace a human reader.

I provide three types of proofreading services:

1. Common sense proofreading. This is a quick read-through to ensure that there are no embarrassments or obvious errors in grammar or spelling.

2. Content proofreading. This is a closer look than the "common sense proofreading" provides. Content proofreading checks for consistency of tone, as well as correctness in grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc. This level of proofreading also ensures that the content makes sense in detail and as a whole.

3. Format and appearance proofreading. This is a check for document correctness, including page numbers and their placement on the page(s), spacing and indentation, sizing of titles, subtitles, footnotes, etc. Finally, the overall appearance is checked to ensure that the pages are balanced and suitable for their intended purpose.

Each proofreading level is accomplished in separate steps to ensure that no detail is overlooked. Some stages are best performed online, while others require hard copy.

The final product will be provided as hard copy. You can request proofreader marks, or for a slightly higher fee, each correction can be written out.

If you want the corrections made to your document or other writing, see editing services for more information.

 

 


My goal is to put exactly the right words to work for you. I will take on your writing and editing projects -- from the smallest to the largest -- and provide results that put you in your very best light.
