What can I do for you?

Having written a thesis I know how easy it is to become so involved in the content that spelling and grammar are no longer a priority, especially when approaching a deadline. A detailed read-through by fresh eyes can check pagination, captions for graphs, illustrations and tables, and the accuracy, completeness and standardisation of references and footnotes, so that you can have confidence that your findings have been presented perfectly.

Having put your heart and soul into finally writing that novel, and having read it over and over again, you may miss errors that have crept in during the editing process, or, because you know what it should say, you don't register small mistakes, even possible inconsistencies in the plot.  Do you need that extra bit of confidence that, when your work is available for all to see, it is faultless?

However fluent you are in a foreign language there may be small indiosyncrasies that can be missed in the process of writing your essays or thesis, or when completing application forms. As well as providing an overall review of your document, a proofreader will check that your word choice is the most appropriate and the language is clear and easy to read, giving you confidence in your final submission.

We all know how important it is that customers receive clear, complete and accurate communications - especially if it is the first interaction they have with your company. From a business card to a full-blown prospectus, it is vital that your customers, or potential investors, receive the optimal experience of your brand.  In order to help you avoid expensive mistakes a proofreader will check your material before it goes to print and you will be able to distribute your literature with confidence.

It is hard to overestimate the importance of an online presence and, because your website will be instantly viewable, it means that you want to be confident that your content is accurate, consistent and fit for purpose.  A proofreader can view the website from a customer's perspective, testing that the links, searches and forms all work, so that potential customers have confidence to choose you.

Anyone who is producing material that they are putting forward for consideration, whether it is by customers, tutors, readers, editors or the general public, should seriously think about having their work reviewed by a professional proofreader.  

A final check from a fresh perspective will pick up those small errors that may have been missed, helping you to create a confident, polished and professional product. It may not be something you have considered before, but it will be worth it.
