I can proofread any material on paper or online.
For Publishers
I can proofread and copy-edit a wide range of fictional and non-
fictional books, journals, and magazines. I am conscientious,
reliable, and have a good eye for organisation and detail. I can
use the BSI proof correction symbols proficiently and can
proofread and copy-edit on screen. I can adhere to house or
publisher's style, and do a straight read or read against copy.
For Authors (independent and/or self-
publishing)
I can proofread and/or copy-edit a broad spectrum of written
material: fiction, non-fiction, articles in journals, magazines,
web content, and blogs.
For Businesses/Organisations/Educational
Establishments/Agencies
Having been in business myself for over twenty-five years, I fully
understand and appreciate the importance of presenting your
business/organisation in the best possible light — your material
should represent your business/organisation at its best — reflecting
your professionalism, high standards, and quality. Your reputation is
at stake if you produce shoddy, careless material; I can make your
material coherent and consistent. I can work with brochures,
websites, documents, company literature, training manuals,
marketing material, pamphlets, flyers, menus, and websites.
For Academics/Students
I offer proofreading on: essays, dissertations, theses, journal
articles, and research papers.
CV for Job Seekers
As a proofreader/proof-editor – with a methodical approach – I

skills, and experience, with clarity and brevity, more here
For non-native ESL English Writers
I can go through your text with a fine toothcomb and iron out
any errors and inconsistencies which may have been 'lost in
translation'. Having learnt two foreign languages (Greek and
French) I can understand the potential difficulty (and
uncertainty) of expressing oneself correctly and clearly.
