Proofreading

Whether you’re writing web content or an e-book, you’ll want your words to be clear, concise and engaging. Typos and grammatical mistakes can crush your credibility, impacting your business reputation and eroding trust.

As an experienced business proofreader, I’ll ensure that your content is easy to read and error-free.

Avoid embarrassing mistakes

Ever sent out an important email only to spot that glaring typo seconds later? You’re certainly not alone. But here’s the rub: 85% more website visitors will bounce right off a page if it contains spelling or grammatical errors.* But these little errors could lose you future business or leads.

Higher bounce rate

More than just a typo hunter

Let’s face it: when you’ve read something for the umpteenth time, you become word-blind. Those sneaky typos and awkward phrases become invisible. That’s where I come in. As your business proofreader, I’ll make sure your content isn’t just free from typos but also clear and compelling.

No job is too big or small – I’ve polished everything from business emails to websites, PhD theses and more.

The benefits of hiring a business proofreader

Think of me as your proofreading sidekick. I don’t just spot spelling mistakes and grammatical howlers. I also look at the bigger picture:

Is your message clear and unambiguous?
Could anything be misinterpreted?
Does every word earn its place?

It’s all about making sure you create the right impression.

So, whether you’ve written 500 words or 500 pages, I can help with my business proofreading service.

A few words from my lovely proofreading clients…

Karen has done a number of business proofreading jobs for me on quite complicated heritage interpretation panels and leaflets. She is absolutely fantastic to work with. Very quick to respond to enquiries and easy to arrange to work with. She does excellent work and is an excellent communicator.

I will continue to use Karen's services and I'm more than happy to recommend her to others.

Case Study

Business proofreading for an award-winning heritage project

I edited and proofread large visitor information panels for the Civic Square in Prestonpans, East Lothian. This was part of efforts to regenerate Prestonpans’ Civic Square – the principal public space in the coastal town.

The content needed to be clear, grammatically accurate and engaging.

The project won a national Scottish Design Award in 2023. My client has since asked me to work on regular editing and proofreading projects.
