About Me

I have 16 years' experience as a proofreader and editor and have worked in the document production departments of two of the largest law firms in the world. I'm used to working to uncompromising standards and always meet a deadline. I work quickly, accurately and professionally. I can proofread any written material - from an invitation to a party, or a marketing brochure, to a prospectus for share listing - and am willing to sign any confidentiality agreement necessary.

I can work either in hard copy using BSI proofreading marks or on screen using Word Track Changes, and have very good Word skills. Meticulous, diligent and with excellent communication skills, I aim to provide an exceptional service.

Other services include copy-editing, transcriptions and copy typing.

Job Reviews on PPH

Great work of Vicky

by Nick C on 27 Oct 2011

Vicky is great to work with. She had a very strict timeline for a major project we were having, and she completed everything on time without compromising the quality of the work. I will definitely work with Vicky on other projects in the future and highly recommend to anyone with similar projects to do so as well.
