Proofreading

Whether you’re writing web content or an email sequence, you’ll want your content to be clear, concise and error-free. Errors can crush your credibility, impacting your business reputation and eroding trust.

As an experienced business proofreader, I’ll spot all those pesky typos and ensure that the content is well-written and clear.

Did you know..?

Research shows that 85% more visitors leave a site after viewing a page if there are errors.*.

There’s no doubt that typos and poorly worded content are bad for business. But, it’s difficult to spot errors in your own writing. Word blindness can set in if you’re reading something for the 100th time, so it’s easy to miss mistakes. That’s where a business proofreader can make all the difference…seeing your content with a fresh pair of trained eyes.

Get rid of those pesky typos

Have you ever sent out an important email and spotted a typo just after you hit send? It’s east to do.

Of course, it can be hard to spot this kind of thing when you’re rushing to meet a deadline or get an email out. I’ll help you avoid those embarrassing mistakes with my business proofreading service.

No job is too big or small – I’ve checked everything from business emails through to web content, blogs, leaflets, theses and more.

The benefits of hiring a business proofreader

I don’t just correct spelling mistakes or grammatical bloopers. I also look at the bigger picture – checking that the messaging is clear and concise. Complicated messaging can at best cause confusion and, at worst, have legal implications.

As a business proofreader, my job is to look at the content through your readers’ eyes. So, whether you’ve written 500 words or 500 pages, I can help with my business proofreading service. Drop me a message for all the deatils.

I often share proofreading tips on my blog. Take a look at my blogs on:

The Plain English Campaign also share some great tips on proofreading.

A few words from my lovely clients…

Karen has done a number of 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 worked on an editing and proofreading project involving interpretation panels for the Civic Square in Prestonpans, East Lothian.

This was part of a wider project to regenerate Prestonpans’ Civic Square – the principal public space in the coastal town – and specifically the local war memorial.

I edited and proofread two large-format panels with information about the built, natural and cultural assets in Prestonpans. The aim was to encourage walkers and cyclists passing through the town to stop and visit the local tourist sites. The content needed to be clear, grammatically accurate and engaging.

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