Since 2004, I've helped hundreds of businesses, education providers, charities and marketing departments to perfect their publications, promotional material and websites.

Does this sound like you?

'We had been trying to proofread internally and it was holding projects up. Kelly at Ultimate Proof has helped us transform the turnaround of key projects.'


Just one client's feedback on finding a reliable proofreading service that blended easily into their workflows.


When we work together, you can see me as another member of your team – at the end of an email when you need me and available for grammar advice and perfecting those projects that need editorial expertise.


What I can bring to your proofreading project


  • Someone who cares about your work. As an experienced proofreader, I work swiftly but carefully. I prioritise getting your file back to you on time and at a high standard. Quality comes first, every time.


  • Quality work to exacting standards.  Being a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) means I've demonstrated to a strict judging panel my established career as an editor, and recognises my expertise as a highly skilled and trained professional. I'm also committed to its Professional Practice Code.

  • A transparent and professional rate.  My fees are charged in line with CIEP recommendations, and reflect my extensive editorial skills, experience and training.


  • Business publishing experience. My 28-year career spans account management in publishing (client side) and graphic design (agency side). I've been in business as an editor and proofreader for 21 of those years, working for clients in a wide range of industries – that's a lot of words!

Ready to go?

Here's how to get that work off your desk and onto mine


  • Email me. Send an outline of what you need – this might include the word/page count, number of documents, deadline, style issues, level of intervention needed (proofreading, editing etc).


  • Quick response. I'll send you a cost to approve. We can also book a quick call to chat through your requirements.


  • Confirm the booking. Simply reply to the email, confirming you want to proceed along with your PO number.


  • Put the kettle on. Relax, knowing your project is being worked on by someone who will make your writing shine.


It's as simple as that!


Other useful things to know

  • Simple quotes. All projects are quoted according to the work required on an hourly or per word basis.


  • Try before you buy. I'm happy to complete a free sample proofread for your assessment before you order.


  • Quality comes first. My priority is ensuring your document reads well and is grammatically correct.


  • Easy payment process. I invoice once the job is complete, or, if you have regular proofreading work, monthly.
