Hi, I am Joyce. I'm a talented freelance proofreader with over 5 years' experience working as a sub-editor, proofreader and journalist.
I'm a talented freelance proofreader with over 5 years' experience working as a sub-editor, proofreader, and journalist. I provide a speedy, accurate and reliable service for all your proofreading and editing needs, including articles, essays, dissertations, blogs, newsletters, and websites, tracking all my changes as I edit.
My service includes checking for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors, and awkward sentence structures, as well as editing copy to a particular word length.
In short, my proofreading and copy-editing service usually covers the following aspects. However, I am flexible and can accommodate any specific requirements you may have:
• I usually work on MS Word documents using track changes and comments.
• I can also work on pdf or hard copy and mark up with British Standard proofreading marks.
• Careful check and correction of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax.
• Restructuring sentences to achieve clarity and improve flow.
• Suggestions for rewriting or word substitution if the content is unclear, repetitive or uses informal wording.
• Checking formatting, spacing, and layout for consistency, either direct or using Word styles.
• Two files – a corrected copy with tracked changes and comments and a final copy ready for immediate use.
I have worked on a broad range of newspapers, magazines, and broadcasters before going freelance in 2012. Since then, my business has gone from strength to strength, and I have worked with many clients from all over the world.
I also revamp CVs, LinkedIn profiles and write cover letters for job applications.
Work Terms
I am a full-time proofreader and editor, and my availability is 30 hours per week. I am responsible for every project assigned, and I professionally complete and submit at the stipulated time.
My clients are my preference, and I would like them to give me clear instructions concerning their projects so that I can offer them exactly what they need.
Let’s get started today.
Regards.
