The importance of proofreading
Why is proofreading important in business? Well, you only get one chance to impress a new client or subscriber and it is so easy to alienate an existing one with an inaccurate or confusing document. Besides the traditional books, journals, or reports, it is essential that commercial documents, press releases, social media posts, and blogs receive close checking.

Be safe, hire a professional proofreader
If you have drafted the document you will often read what you expect to see when checking it back rather than seeing the errors that are there. As famous US author Harper Lee said:
“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.”
In other words the author of a document or publication will read what they expect to read rather than what is actually there.
How I can help:
- eliminate the spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors, as well as improve your writing
- advise on clichéd writing and inconsistencies of style, spelling capitalization etc.
- recommend better and more efficient ways for you to express yourself and communicate your message.
