    What you get with this Offer

    You want your writing to be technically perfect and easy to read. So do I!

    I am a friendly native British English speaker with an excellent track record in proofreading novels, short stories, articles and publicity material. I have worked with theatre companies, online writers and published novelists, as well as many people who just want to improve their writing in general. While I am new to PeoplePerHour, please read my endorsements from people I have worked with previously.

    I am happy to simply proofread and correct your material with a fresh pair of eyes, but I will also provide feedback to help you improve your writing, both grammatically and stylistically, if required. I am used to working with less confident and non-native writers, and will help you to say exactly what you intended in a clear and readable manner.

    I have a reputation for patience and attention to detail, and I am very good at spotting potential factual errors, or inconsistencies in your plot or descriptions

    Your file will be returned with trackable edits, allowing you to see clearly any changes and comments I have made. If you are unfamiliar with the system, I can send you a helpful link. I can also send you a clean, finished copy, which you can use as is, if you are happy with all the revisions I have made.

    If you have a project of a different length, please check to see if I have another offer that may be more relevant to you, or contact me for a quote.

Resisting...Read moreHaving left university with a degree in archaeology and a love of history, the arts, and reading, I have spent the last two decades as a freelancer in a variety of disciplines. Resisting the possibility of becoming a 'jack of all trades and master of none', I apply myself to each skillset with care and attention to detail. I am determined that all my clients should receive excellent service, and the feedback and repeat business I have received from happy customers suggests that I do succeed in this aim.

    I have acted in plays and interactive events, directed, stage managed, costumed and propped film and theatre as diverse as television comedies and touring operas. I have designed posters, websites, theatrical programmes, book covers and interiors; accompanied and musically directed large community choirs; taught piano and other subjects to all ages and run large events. I have proofread programmes, novels and essays; restored damaged photos; illustrated books and worked with wood, fabric and other media on various artistic projects. I am also a keen reader of general fiction, history, theology and philosophy, sociology and psychology. As a result I have a head full of (mostly) useful information, and a keen interest in adding to and using it.

    I proofread online for a number of years in the past, then left it for other pursuits, but have recently been deluged with requests locally from people who have been writing novels during Covid lockdown. Word of mouth has kept me busy, but having largely run out of locals, and having lost a great deal of theatrical work in this strange time, I am keen to help the wider writing community with my excellent spelling and grammar, minute attention to detail, and patience.
