I provide copyediting and proofreading services depending on the stage of completion of your work.
Copyediting
Proofreading
I carefully check through everything in your text in detail, correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors; ensuring consistency of style and format; making sure figures and tables are correctly labeled¹ and cited in the text; and checking that headings and page numbers on the contents page match those in the text.
I read your work actively and raise any queries where a typo might have led to a factual error (“London hosted the Olympics in summer 2912”).
I also try to retain your wording as much as possible and not change things unnecessarily.

¹US English spellings are used throughout this website.
How do I correct your work?
Corrections are usually made on a Word file using the Track Changes facility, with all corrections and comments visible to you. All you have to do is accept or reject the changes.
Watch this video for a helpful guide on how changes and comments are made and how to accept and reject changes using Track Changes.
For proofreading jobs, I can also make corrections on Google Docs, on PDF files using the commenting tools in Adobe Acrobat Reader, or with pen and paper.

What to know more?
Please get in contact! If you send me a copy of your work, I will look at it without any obligation, assess your requirements, and give you a quotation. I am also happy to have a video discussion with you. All inquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
