Hi!
About Me
My name is Louise and I have a very keen interest in reading and the written word. I have an Upper Second-Class degree in English (Language and Literature) and have many years of experience writing for various publications and proofreading for friends and family, as well as university students. Having been a student myself, I understand the pressures of reaching deadlines and having a multitude of things to think about when you are eager to submit your work. I wanted to set up Proof It! to give people the reassurance that their work has been carefully checked over before making that final submission.
Proofreading
Proofreading is used for when your work is mainly finished, but just needs that final read-through to check for anything that you may have missed. We will go through your work thoroughly checking the following:
- Grammar, spelling, and punctuation
- Consistency in both sentence structure and content
- That the formatting is constant throughout
- Looking out for repetition in word choice
- Ensuring that the text is easy to read
- Offering any advice on potential improvements that could be made
Copyediting
Copyediting is used to check that your writing is achieving what it has set out to do. It includes the proofreading checks but is more detailed in terms of examining content and the effect it has.
As well as proofreading your work, a copyediting service will include:
- Checking for technical consistencies throughout your work so that the writing flows well
- Ensuring that the purpose of the text is achieved through word choice, tone, and sentence structure
- Making sure that the content and the style that it is written match throughout
- Double-checking important dates if these are included
Copywriting
We provide a copywriting service whereby an objective will be given to us, with the aim of the piece made clear. We will then produce what you need in written form to appeal to your audience and encourage action to be taken. This can be used on a variation of different platforms such as web pages, blogs, social media etc. We will discuss your goals initially and then will talk about the options available.
For proofreading and copyediting, we use ‘Track Changes’ on Microsoft Word so that you can see which suggestions have been made. It will then allow you to remain in charge of your work with what you choose to accept. More information is available on the ‘Services’ page.
If you have any questions, please contact us. We would love to help take the pressure off and let your writing shine!
