Proofreading for businesses, organizations, clubs, and charities to individual requirements
Why the need for proofreading for businesses, charities etc.?
Because whether it’s
- an urgent press release to announce some happy news
- a business plan you are preparing for the bank or new investors
- an email campaign or newsletter
- a marketing report
- a PowerPoint presentation for marketing purposes
there’s always a need for a proofreader to cast their fresh and objective eyes over your documents to make sure there are no typos or inconsistencies that have been missed in the endless rounds of redrafting. The more ‘fingers in the pie’ the greater the scope for errors.
What services can I offer?
Proofreading services are offered to businesses of all sizes, organizations, non-profits, agencies, charities, clubs, and societies, as well as jobseekers. Proofreading and other services are carried out as digital mark-up on screen and include:
- proofreading blind or cold (that is, without edited author copy)
- checking to house stylesheet / writing style
- checking for consistency of tone
- harmonizing style and formatting of documents that have been compiled from contributions from several personnel or sources
