We love your briefs!
Be as clear in your brief as you can. Include information such as the word or page count, the work required, the schedule and any particular style preferences or concerns you might have.

Keep in touch.
We can usually react very quickly to urgent requests; however, as soon as you know you might need some proofreading assistance, drop us a line. We can pencil it into the diary in readiness so you know you have help there when you need it and, if it gets delayed or cancelled, you’ve lost nothing.

Get a free sample text check.
To get the best idea of what work needs doing, send us a short sample of your text and we’ll edit it at no cost. This is particularly helpful to authors and students, who may not realise the work a proofreader would need to do to whip your words into shape. Then, you can decide if you want to work on your text a little more to save money as well as get an insight into how the process works. We’re happy to do this as it gives us the chance to impress you and demonstrate our professionalism and abilities.

How was it for you?
We always put every care and attention into our work so a few comments really help us to ensure we’re delivering what you need. If you want something done differently, we can usually adapt our service to meet your requirements.

As the virtual face of your business, your website needs to fulfil two key priorities: to read correctly and be easy to navigate – but if you add the pressure to get your site up and live, it can be easy to push proofreading to the bottom of the endless to-do list. Relying on a busy colleague or the website designer to give it a 'once over' might help to a point, but still leaves a lot to chance. Proofreading websites is a specific type of service which covers not only typos but also things like broken links, SEO keywords, your tone of voice and overall user experience. So, if you're thinking of proofreading your website yourself but aren't sure where to start, here are four key areas to focus on: Spelling and grammar All written content on your website should be reviewed, from product descriptions to blog posts, ensuring it is clear, concise and error-free. Branding and tone Consistency is key. Ensure your messaging aligns with your brand identity across all pages, paying attention to the consistency of tone as well – whether it's formal, casual or informative. User experience Check for broken links, slow-loading or missing images, alt text, or any other technical issues that might hinder the user experience (some web designers have software that does this, but it's still worth checking). SEO optimisation Check your meta titles, meta descriptions and keyword usage, to ensure your content includes relevant keywords to enhance its visibility in search engine results. All these checks take time and care. AI can help to a point, but human oversight is essential. A professional proofreader can check these elements for you to ensure your website reflects the level of professionalism and attention to detail that your audience expects – giving you back precious time to focus on all the other tasks before you launch. A proofreader can also work directly from your CMS – saving your web designer amending time. I have proofread websites of all sizes – from a few pages and blogs to complex, multi-level websites. Even if your website has been live for a while, it might be worth getting a proofreader to have a fresh look to identify any problem areas.
