Why do I need a Proofreader?

Why do I need a proofreader?

It is impossible to read your own work – you are too close to the content to see the obvious errors. A fresh pair of eyes will pick up any errors you have missed.

Written material that is unclear or littered with mistakes will make you or your business look unprofessional, and will not inspire confidence in your readers or potential customers.

People are experts in their own field and do not always have the time or skills to proofread work correctly. A professional proofreader can carry out this task quicker and more efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on your own business,

If errors are missed it is extremely expensive to correct them once the final proofs have gone to the printers – even more so if the material has already been printed!

You may use a spellckecker on your computer but this will only highlight words incorrectly spelt. It will not notice the difference between 'their' and 'there' or 'your' and 'you're'.

A badly punctuated sentence can convey an unintended meaning, giving your audience the wrong message.

"A joy to work with – easy, helpful and constructive."

"An affordable and speedy service."

"Excellent at checking our wording and ensuring that everything is spot on."

"100% professional, thorough, and extremely fast – the job was delivered ahead of schedule."

"Thanks for all your help – you've done a great job as always."

"Thanks so much for doing this job so fast!"

"Really appreciate what you have done and I would consider this an excellent job, thank you."
