Proofreading and Editing
Clients can send their proofreading and editing requirements by e-mail, post, or in person.
Proofreading on paper
Paper manuscripts will be marked up by hand using the British Standards Institution (BSI) proofreading symbols and adhering to a house style, if this is supplied. For clients who are unfamiliar with the BSI proofreading symbols, I can mark up your work in a simpler way. Also, depending on your needs, I can proofread against copy, or blind (without reference to the original version).
Proofreading on screen
If you would prefer your work to be proofread on screen, I can offer this service using Microsoft Word 2010 track changes. I will then return your work to you electronically, giving you the option to accept or delete my changes.
Basic editing
Basic editing of your documents is provided alongside proofreading. The main things I look out for are typos, incorrect spelling, bad grammar, style and consistency.
