A WICKED WAY WITH WORDS

Proofreading

Premium proofreading for London, the UK, Dubai, the world. £450/day. Worth every penny.
Looking for a proofreader in London, Dubai, the UK, the world?

Government documents? Company white papers? Proposals? Business plan? When your proofreading absolutely, positively, no question has to be 100% right, you should choose carefully.

Take a close look at the proofreader’s website before you commit. Many are riddled with errors. They’ll kill your credibility.

Now this is a guarantee

Not me. In fact, find any legitimate errors in my proofreading (that I agree with) and I’ll not only correct them, but I’ll deduct £1 from the invoice for each one. Now that’s a guarantee.

So what can you expect? Well, not ancient English. You won’t get any ‘To whom are you writing?’ nonsense from me. That’s grammatically correct. But it also makes you sound like a 1950s English teacher with a monocle. Same applies to split infinitives, sentence fragments and the like.

So I’m not wedded to hopelessly out-of-date grammatical forms. You’ll benefit from the usual checks for consistency, plus pinpoint grammar and punctuation.

Typical errors
  • Dangling participles
  • Subject-verb agreement
  • Number vs amount
  • Missing introductory-clause commas
  • Homophones and eggcorns
  • Lack of hyphenation
  • Run-on sentences
  • Parallel structure
  • Correct use of only
  • Correct use of that/which
  • Much, much more.

I’ve been a journalist and a copywriter for 30 years. I’ve worked as a medical editor. I know my onions. (So no greengrocer’s apostrophes from me.)

Proofreading prices

I charge my proofreading at £450/day. That rate reflects my experience and my knowledge. You’ll be getting flawless, premium proofreading in UK or US English. That has to be worth every penny.
