Welcome

I love doing a final ‘sweep’, which sounds like I am cleaning your document.

In fact, that’s what I am doing!

Proofread = to read copy for purposes of error detection and correction ensuring clarity and accuracy.

Proofreading

With proofreading, I double-check and look for consistency in spelling, grammar, formatting, omissions and repetitions.

This includes ensuring any author amendments/additions have been incorporated, checking heading hierarchies, checking illustrations and captions, graphs, figures, tables etc, any financial documentation, cross-checking citations/footnotes and references, end matter, and ensuring the formatting is consistent and correct.

Confidentiality guaranteed.

“Karen’s editing gave my manuscript the structure and direction it needed. Her keen eye for detail and feel for the narrative were essential to the book’s success.”
