Proofreading and Copyediting Services
Avoid costly mistakes or embarrassing errors slipping through the net with precision proofreading and copyediting.
Are you writing your website or brochure copy in-house? No matter how often you review and check it, mistakes and errors can slip through the net. In the worst-case scenario, they could undermine the value and credibility of your entire message. And not only does it look unprofessional, but errors in any printed materials could be expensive to fix.
Whether you’re creating a blog post, developing brochures or marketing material, or launching a new website, the devil’s in the details. Error-free copy, online or offline, can enhance your reputation and show that you’re credible, professional, and care about your customers.
My professional proofreading and editing services can help protect your content from embarrassing or costly mistakes, so you’re grammatically correct, typo-free, and fact-friendly.
What is proofreading and copyediting?

Why do you need proofreading and copyediting services?
You and your in-house team will already have a scheduled plan about what you’re writing, whether it’s going online or in print, and when it’s needed. And as the experts, you’ll create the content you need in your company style and tone of voice, complete with facts, figures, and industry-specific information.
Proofreading and copyediting your content should be the final step of your writing and editing process before final approval. Applying both only when complete means that accuracy and clarity become the main focus rather than the content itself. And while both services go a lot further than catching the odd typo, it ensures your copy actually reads well and makes sense.
You’ll probably have people who can do this in your business. But it’s likely to be people who have either written the content, are too close to the content to avoid skimming, or simply don’t have the time. With this in mind, while company facts and stats may be correct, a range of things can – and will – slip through the net.
Who are proofreading and copyediting services for?
Proofreading and copyediting services are used by a wide range of businesses and organisations who want and need their copy to read well, make sense, and be grammatically correct. Some common users include:
Basically, anyone who wants to ensure that their content is of high-quality, error-free, and communicates their message effectively can benefit from proofreading and copyediting services. A review from another set of eyes – outside of your business – will often spot things you may have missed.

“I was working on an important product launch for B2C and B2B markets via eCommerce for one of my key clients. Being a prestigious brand, the copy needed to be 100% perfect.
Graeme was fantastic – responsive, flexible, and helped us with a demanding timescale. His proofreading pulled up a lot of issues with our first draft copy and his copyediting helped to organise the content, make more sense of it, and ensured it would be easy to digest by future audiences.”
