Services for businesses and non-profits

Proofreading and copyediting are essential services for businesses and non-profit organisations that want to ensure their communications are clear, professional and error-free. Whether it’s a website, a marketing brochure or an annual report, polished content reflects the credibility and attention to detail that stakeholders expect.

Effective proofreading and copyediting go beyond fixing grammar mistakes – they ensure that tone, style and structure align with the organisation’s objectives and target audience. For businesses, this could mean a more persuasive call to action or a consistent brand voice across all communications. For non-profits, it might involve making sure that sensitive language is used appropriately or that fundraising materials are compelling and easy to understand.

Editorial services

Regardless of the industry, skilled proofreading and copyediting can elevate the quality of content, enhancing brand image, fostering trust with clients and ensuring that messages are delivered effectively. My services include:

Spelling and grammar

Checking thoroughly for errors with reference to the preferred dictionary or style guide and knowledge of best practice.

Consistency

Ensuring that elements such as headings, captions, tables and bullet points are styled consistently and in accordance with company style.

Layout

Checking that images are presented correctly and match the text. Making suggestions to resolve word stacking, inconsistent hyphenation, tight/gappy lines and other presentation issues.

Language use

Flagging up language that may perpetuate unconscious bias, stereotypes and assumptions, and helping to find alternatives.

Facts and data

Checking names, dates and other facts to avoid embarrassing mistakes. Ensuring data in tables and figures correlates with the main text.

Querying

Working with the author or project manager to iron out confusing or misleading phrasing and inconsistencies.
