Proofreading

Objective feedback can sharpen your document's focus and structure. I consider your audience, any legal or internal requirements, plus clarity and flow to strengthen your message.

As your copy-editor, I will apply what you want to say, what your audience needs and the best way to write it. I look out for elements such as structure, message, style, coherence and general language use.

How confident do you feel about sharing or publishing your document, especially if English isn't your first language? Make sure it's good to go by hiring me to clean up grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation and formatting.
