Proofreading Services

Proofreading is a special skill, one that you probably think can be done by any co-worker with an English degree, or someone with an extra five minutes to scan your work.

You can probably "get by" passing your written materials around the office but you're not getting consistent, high-quality, precise proofing like you will with a professional proofreader.

Charging for proofreading is also a complicated process. Is it per word? Per hour? Per project? If you have a one page menu, or 200-word memo, proofreading may take only a few minutes, certainly less than hour. How do you bill for this service?

Because I am an outside consultant, I identify and correct errors that your workers in-house don't see. Also, with a proven, systematic technique, I provide you with the highest quality of proofreading so you don't look like an idiot to your clients, or competitors.

Hire me for a monthly or quarterly retainer. You send me your written materials, announcements, Facebook posts, memos, letters, emails to employees, anything and I get back to you right away.
