We offer both light and editorial proofreading.
In light proofreading, we check for mechanical problems, such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, and consistency. If your document is a short presentation, an e-mail, or memo, this may be all you need.
The editorial level considers those elements plus broader issues of clarity, word choice, and formatting. We urge you to choose this method for your product; this is how we see our job.
What we do
Book manuscripts and other lengthy documents
• You can provide us with hard copy to be reviewed using standard proofreading marks. This is my preference for documents which contain a table of contents, multiple chapters, notes, a reference list, or an index.
• I will gladly work in Acrobat or Word, if that is your preference.
Print advertising and brochures
• Typically we review advertising as PDFs, using Acrobat's commenting and editing tools.
• It is helpful if you provide your client's style sheet, but it isn't essential.
Catalogues, manuals
• If we check against copy, we can review it at the editorial level and ensure accuracy of pictures, product identifiers, descriptions, etc.
• A final draft alone will receive light proofreading.
Web sites
• There are three ways we can proofread your Web site: on a hard copy printout; as PDFs created from screen captures; on a separate reporting sheet.
• Whichever method you choose, we will review your Web site in IE, Firefox, and Safari to assure that your content displays properly in a variety of popular browsers, and that all links and dynamic and interactive features work as intended. We will review all navigational interfaces and functions, and ensure that all pages are accurately titled.
Magazines and journals
• While literary publications lend themselves to hard-copy reviewing, magazines with a lot of graphics are best handled in an electronic format.
