Reassuring

Peace of mind when you need it the most

The Proofreading Quality Framework – our 30-point quality control process – ensures nothing will slip through the net, and your work will be returned completely error-free.

What will your editor correct in your work?

Depending on how thoroughly you need our editors to proofread your document, we offer two different packages: Proofreading and Proofreading Plus.

Spelling

Misspelt and missing words can often slip through the net of even the best digital spellcheckers. Your editor will carefully check and correct spelling errors, and also amend UK/US spelling variants.

Punctuation

From missing hyphens to rogue Oxford commas to misplaced apostrophes, your editor will make sure punctuation throughout your document is correct and consistent.

Grammar

English grammar is notoriously difficult to navigate, especially for non-native English speakers. Your editor will check your sentence structure, word choice and technical syntax to ensure your work is readable and cohesive.

Technicality

Technical factors such as number formatting, acronym reductions and italicisation will all be reviewed by your editor to make sure the same conventions are used throughout your entire document.

Document formatting

Your editor will correct inconsistencies in font sizes, heading styles, paragraph justification and line spacing, leaving you with a thoroughly treated and correctly formatted document.

Personal feedback

You’ll receive one ‘clean’ version of your document that's ready to print. You'll also get another with tracked changes and comments so you can see detailed feedback from your editor.

Proofreading Plus

Readability

As part of our more comprehensive stylistic edit, we’ll make sure your sentences are clear, concise and easy to read – and we’ll get rid of any repeated or unnecessary clauses, too.

Proofreading Plus

Style and tone

We’ll make adjustments to ensure your work is presented in formalised language that’s appropriate to the topic and purpose of the document.

Proofreading Plus

Clarity

If something’s unclear, we’ll flag up the problem using Microsoft Word’s comment function and ask for more information on the meaning behind the text.
