An Experienced Professional Proofreader

For Books, Academic work, and Magazines

A former affiliate of the Association of Correctors' at Press.

A highly qualified proofreader from the printing industry with a deep-rooted passion for the written and printed word. With a meticulous eye for detail and profound respect for typographic precision I don't read your manuscript, I seek out errors.

I have worked with some of the most respected names in the industry, including the Harmsworth Group of newspapers, the Daily Mirror Group and the Advertisement Production Employers Federation as Proofreader at one time or another.

Among others I have proofread include the University of Plymouth: Internal and External Journals, for Undergraduates and Postgraduates; Oxford University Press: Music & Letters, a leading international journal of music scholarship; The British Medical Association: Medical Ethics; as well as parts of, The Government of The Bahamas: Constitution of Bahamas. All prestigious works requiring attention to detail.

My expertise extends beyond traditional proofreading. I approach each document not only with technical accuracy but with an appreciation for its aesthetic and contextual significance.

Today, I offer a comprehensive range of online proofreading services – combining decades of experience, typographic mastery, and a commitment to linguistic clarity. Whether you’re a publisher, academic, business professional, or creative, I ensure your words are presented with precision, polish, and purpose.
