Proofreading

For your convenience, revisions are marked up in a PDF. This makes it easier to share feedback with clients and colleagues. Here is an example of a PDF marked up with edits.

Proofreader’s Checklist

  1. Spelling errors not caught by a spell-checker.
  2. Incorrect or inconsistent punctuation, grammar and capitalization.
  3. Improper use of logos, registered trademarks and brand standards.
  4. Fact-checking to confirm phone numbers, addresses, dates, URLs, etc.
  5. Legal copy, mice type and reference symbols coincide with content.
  6. Ensure consistency in design: colour, fonts, images, leading, etc.
  7. Titles, lists, tables and abbreviations adhere to global styles.

A consultation is recommended for new clients to establish their requirements for the following:

  • Appropriate level of editing and/or proofreading
  • The extent of fact-checking to be applied
  • Level of attention to design, layout and typography
  • Creation of a style guide

Editing

An initial review of the manuscript will be completed and followed up with a phone consultation, prior to making revisions.

Revisions are made in your Word document using track changes.

If you have questions, I encourage you to consult with me to determine your unique project requirements and expectations. A sample of your work is required to provide an accurate quote.

Rates and Scheduling

Turnaround times and costs vary depending on the project. Most projects can be completed within one to three business days.

A 50% down payment is required from new clients before work can begin. Rush jobs are subject to a 15% surcharge.

PayPal is the preferred method of payment.
