Upgrade Your Writing
You've put on the finishing touches and it's time to submit, to publish, to send off...or is it?
It's actually time to proofread.
It's actually time to proofread.
Think you did already? Because you used:
- Spellcheck
- Autocorrect
- Grammarly
The problem is your technology is missing something:
A trained and skilled pair of human eyes.
A trained and skilled pair of human eyes.
You need a trained and skilled human proofreader to do what technology can't:
- Detect nuance and context
- Understand ever-changing English language rules
- Spot a misused word, even though it was spelled correctly (Do you hold your breathe or breath when you hit send? Because according to technology, they're both correct.)
Upgrade your writing by hiring a Professional Proofreader
What does a professional Proofreader do?
As your proofreader, I will not:
As your proofreader, I will handle:
- Change your sentence structure, thoughts, or ideas
- Rewrite your content
- Interfere with your writing voice, word choice, and intentions
As your proofreader, I will handle:
- Grammatical and capitalization errors
- Word duplicates and misusage (such as with homonyms, homophones, and homographs)
- Mispellings (like this one)
- Formatting issues
- Inconsistencies (with names, places, descriptions, and more)
I will be the final set of eyes on your creative projects, written work, web copy, and resumes/cover letters.
I will focus on the details so that you can focus on the big picture of your business and writing.
