Copyediting
Whether you’re producing an academic research report with multiple authors, a lifestyle magazine, a work of fiction or an exhibition catalogue, I will ensure your text flows well, is perfectly structured and reads as convincingly as possible for its intended audience. I can translate any form of jargon into plain English and adapt copy for multiple recipients. As a magazine subeditor I am also highly experienced in creating captivating headlines, standfirsts, pullquotes and image captions.
I will make your text clear, concise and compelling.
I will correct grammar, spelling, punctuation and consistency, ensuring your house style is adhered to or creating a style sheet if you don’t already have one.
I will check every name, date and reference to ensure nothing erroneous slips through the net.
Proofreading
I have proofread magazines, illustrated books, websites, academic theses and reports, grant proposals and works of fiction. I can check final proofs before publication, in any format. I am also experienced in dealing with image captions, credits and copyright.
