PROFESSIONAL PROOFREADING

​

Need a fresh set of eyes to take a look at academic, consumer-targeted, and professional documents before final submission to publisher?  We’ll check punctuation and grammar according to standard US English for accuracy and consistency, and will suggest vocabulary and syntax changes if you request. 

 

Proofreaders finish the work of editors.

​

Proofreading is the final and important post-editorial step toward getting a document ready to share with its intended audience.

 

Proofreading ensures consistency and accuracy in:

·  Grammar--Are subjective (I) and objective (me) cases correct?  i.e., Who vs. Whom

·  Spelling--Spot errors—they’re easy to make and more common than you think.

·  Punctuation--Is the Oxford comma used (or not used) uniformly throughout the document?

·  Capitalization--When used, are capitals carried through consistently?
