Flexible editorial support when deadlines are tight and quality matters.

If you're working in a communications team, it's likely you'll be producing more content than ever. Reports, publications, websites, stakeholder communications, campaigns, annual reports and AI-assisted content all compete for your attention, often against the backdrop of limited resources and demanding deadlines.

Through Ultimate Proof Ltd, I provide flexible editorial support for communications teams that need experienced, independent review before publication.

Whether you need a Professional Light Review, Full Proofreading, PDF publication checks or support developing editorial standards, I can help your team publish with confidence.

Supporting busy charity communications teams.

Sometimes you need more than a spellcheck.

You need someone who understands:

• Communications workflows
• Publication deadlines
• Multiple approval stages
• Brand consistency
• Working with designers and agencies
• AI-assisted content creation
• The pressures of getting content out on time

My role is to help improve quality, reduce risk and provide reassurance before content reaches its audience.

Supporting modern communications teams.

Many teams now work with a combination of:

• internal contributors
• subject experts
• external agencies
• freelancers
• AI tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot

While these approaches can improve efficiency, they can also create inconsistencies in style, terminology and tone. I help communications teams maintain a clear and professional voice across all channels.

Typical projects.

I regularly support communications teams with:

Publications

• Annual reports
• Impact reports
• Stakeholder publications
• Strategic reports
• Public-facing documents

Marketing & Campaign Content

• Campaign materials
• Brochures
• Website content
• Case studies
• Newsletters

Digital Content

• AI-assisted content
• Website updates
• Thought leadership articles
• Online resources
• Internal Communications
• Policies
• Guidance documents
• Staff communications
• Briefing materials
  

Professional Light Review.

Many communications teams are creating content quickly and efficiently using internal review processes and AI tools.

A Professional Light Review provides an experienced external perspective focused on:

• Clarity
• Tone of voice
• Consistency
• Readability
• Publication readiness

Ideal for content that's already been checked internally but would benefit from independent review before publication.

Full proofreading.

For reports, publications and complex documents that require a more detailed editorial review.

Ideal for:

• Annual reports
• Impact reports
• Publications with multiple contributors
• Stakeholder communications
• High-profile content
  

AI Content Review.

AI tools can be valuable communications tools, but they don't always reflect your organisation's voice, context or intended audience.

I help teams review AI-assisted content to ensure it remains:

• Consistent
• Human
• Credible
• Audience-focused
• Aligned with brand voice
  

Full proofreading.

Communications teams often work across multiple channels and contributors.

An editorial style guide helps establish clear standards for:

• Terminology
• Tone of voice
• Capitalisation
• Inclusive language
• AI-assisted content
• Brand consistency

A strong guide helps reduce editing time and improve consistency across future publications and campaigns.

PDF proofreading & publication checks.

Many communications teams produce annual reports, impact reports, brochures and stakeholder publications as PDFs.

I provide specialist publication checks covering consistency, layout-related issues, page numbering, cross-references and publication readiness.

Annual report proofreading.

Annual reports often involve multiple contributors, complex approval processes and publication deadlines.

I help communications teams ensure reports are clear, consistent and ready for stakeholders, trustees, supporters and boards.
