proofreading

Hard personal experience has taught me valuable lessons about proofreading. After toiling away on a document, especially longer ones, there comes a point where you see what you meant to write, not necessarily what is on the page. I have also learned that a document to which you have devoted tremendous effort can be torpedoed by the discovery of a basic grammatical or spelling error on the first page! No matter how skilled a writer you may be, there is simply no substitute for getting a fresh set of eyes to check your document prior to submitting it for publication or evaluation.

Let me be that fresh—and skilled—set of eyes. I work on digital documents in either Pages or Word using “track changes” so that you can see what I’ve done. I will proofread for errors in spelling and grammar that have snuck through (or been caused by) Autocorrect, SpellCheck, or other AI tools like ChatGPT. As an editor, I can alert you to more significant flaws, but this could change the scope and price of the task, so please contact me to review your document and provide an estimate of the work required.
