If you’ve worked with me before, you’ll know that proofreading has been at the heart of Ultimate Proof for many years. It’s work I love – helping organisations produce clear, accurate and consistent content, whether that’s a report, a prospectus, a newsletter or a piece of digital communication. Proofreading will always be a core part of what I do, and I’m incredibly grateful to the clients who trust me with their words.

But what many people don’t know is that before running Ultimate Proof, I spent a large part of my career in publishing and communications roles where proofreading was only one part of the picture. I also managed editorial schedules, coordinated contributors, prepared documents for publication and supported teams through the many moving parts that sit behind a finished piece of content.

Over the past year, I’ve realised how much I’ve missed that side of the work – the planning, the organising, the keeping‑everything‑moving. And as more organisations look for support not just with the final polish, but with the process that gets them there, it feels like the right time to bring more of that experience back into my business.

So alongside proofreading, I’m now offering editorial coordination and project support for communications and publishing teams.

This isn’t a big rebrand or a dramatic change of direction. It’s simply a way of making more use of the skills I’ve built over the past 25 years – and offering clients a broader kind of support when they need it.

Editorial coordination can take many forms, depending on the project. It might mean keeping track of who’s writing what, managing timelines, preparing content so it’s consistent and ready for design, or checking layouts before publication. It’s the kind of behind‑the‑scenes work that helps busy teams breathe a little easier, especially when deadlines are tight or capacity is stretched.

For some clients, proofreading will continue to be all they need – and that’s absolutely fine. Nothing is changing there. But for organisations who want help managing the flow of content as well as the final checks, I’m now able to offer that support too.

I’ve always believed that good communication is a team effort. It relies on clear processes, steady coordination and a calm pair of hands guiding things along. Bringing more of my project‑focused experience back into Ultimate Proof feels like a natural extension of that belief.

If you’re working on a publication or communications project and think you might benefit from some extra support – whether that’s proofreading, editorial coordination or a blend of both – I’d be very happy to chat.

Here’s to the next chapter of Ultimate Proof: still rooted in clarity and accuracy, but with a little more structure and support woven in.
