PROOFREADING & EDITING

How to book
Ready to go? Here's how to get that work off your desk and onto ours
- Email Kelly. Send an outline of what you need – this might include the word count, the page number, number of documents, deadline, specific style issues, level of intervention needed (proofreading, editing etc).
- Quick response. Kelly will review your brief the same day and send you a cost to approve along with any queries.
- Confirm the booking. Simply email Kelly confirming you want to proceed along with your PO number, if relevant.
- Put the kettle on. You can now rest assured knowing your project is being worked on by a qualified proofreader.
It's as simple as that.
Kelly and her team are not only thorough but also easy to work with – always responsive and respectful of deadlines. I would confidently recommend their services to anyone seeking high-quality proofreading support.
