Proofreading Services.

Is proofreading what you need? I’ve answered some FAQs.

  • Just before you hit send, proofreading is your final quality check.

    This review ensures your content expertise and message are fully supported with correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, as well as cohesive tense, tone and formatting.

  • Proofreading ensures your professionalism translates to paper.

    Minor errors devalue your expertise, drawing focus away from content. It’s also a great opportunity to sense check - at this point, you’ve read your own words so many times you will likely miss obvious mistakes. A review from a fresh, and adept pair of eyes safeguard your business image and voice.

  • Once you’ve written and redrafted multiple times, and you feel almost ready to publish or hit send.

    I’m familiar with proofreading a vast scope of content, including website copy, blog posts, newsletters, award submissions and promotional content - not sure if I can review what you have? Drop me an enquiry through my contact form and I’ll let you know.

  • Proofreading is the final polish up, suitable only for a near finished product.

    Copy editing can take place anywhere in the drafting process, meaning intentions and scope can be far more varied. Have a look at my ‘Editing’ page to find out more.

** All prices are formed line with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) recommendations regarding minimum hourly rates.

Proofread FAQs

  • Highly technical subject matter, stringent brand guidelines and elevated levels of mistakes are just a few reasons that extended proofreading may be required. Pricing by words alone wouldn’t truly reflect this.

    On average, I can proofread 2000 words an hour.

    Once you send me your enquiry, a quick evaluation will enable me to give you a solid rate - I’ll explain why alongside my price.

  • Once agreed, payment will be paid 50% at the start, and the final % upon completion.

  • I do not offer sample editing for proofreading service, this is due to the nature of it as a final piece.

    Portfolio samples will be coming soon though, so watch this space!

  • For longer form projects, rates can be agreed once I understand the nature of your requirements. The prices above will still be used as a baseline.

  • Yes! Please send an enquiry using the form here. When we discuss the scope of the project, I will evaluate whether the requirements extend beyond proofreading and into copy editing. Information on editing and those rates can be found on my ‘Editing’ page.
