How I Work

You can email me your document and it will be amended on screen using Track Changes in Microsoft Word. Your document will then be scrutinised and examined! I will return your work by email in two versions - the first will show all my editing in Track Changes, the other will be the final version with all those changes made. You will therefore be in total control over your document, and will be free to accept or decline any of my amendments.

Book editing

As a copy-editor (rather than just a proofreader), I will edit your manuscript and correct your grammar, and reconstruct badly written sentences. A client will often say to me "I'll leave it up to you - just do what you feel is best" - and that's what I will do! Sometimes a manuscript that I am working on can be very heavily edited, but in all cases the client is very pleased with the end result. However, I will respect the author's written style and will never alter the context.

All manuscript copy-editing is carried out by myself. I will not pass your work out to other freelancers on my behalf. That way I can be certain that all work reaches my own consistently high standards.

My services include the following:

• Spelling and punctuation check

• Grammar check

• Paragraph formatting

• Chapter formatting

• Dialogue formatting

• Checking for consistency - e.g. British English or American spellings

• Table of contents and headings (when required)

• Research/fact checking (when required)

If you would like to submit some work to be proofread, or if you would like a quote, then please send it in Word format to info@abcproofreading.co.uk
