Spruce up your writing with freelance proofreading

A proofreader is like a gardener for your words.

You’ve created a nice bit of writing, but you can feel it isn’t quite right. It needs some pruning here and there, the repositioning of a few key phrases, and a sprinkling of copy magic to help those words take root in your audience’s minds.

You don’t need a full rewrite – but some freelance proofreading…? Now there’s a thought.

Working in marketing and copywriting departments, proofreading was always a crucial part of my job. Now that I’m freelance, I want to offer that same support to you.

I’ll cultivate the words you’ve written with care: they’re still your words, but when your audience reads them, you can be sure they’ll bloom.

Is it really that important?

Hiring a second pair of eyes to pore over your writing, make edits and offer advice isn’t just about catching the odd missed word or grammar slip (although that’s certainly part of it!).

I’ll give you suggestions on how to hook your audience; we’ll talk about rhythm and flow (the readability of a piece of writing); and I’ll help you trim your text to reveal the glittering, gold-dust copy beneath.

There’s good writing, then there’s exceptional writing. Working with a proofreader will take your words to the next level for copy that inspires your readers.

How does it happen?

First up, send me an email and let me know what it is you’d like proofreading. Whether it’s an entire website or a single newsletter, I’d love to help.

If you’re happy with the quote I send, I’ll get cracking and come back to you with my edits and suggestions. Voila!

As an experienced writer and a former teacher, I’m all about helping organisations to get their copy spot on.
