As a professional proofreader I can read through your writing to root out errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar, reduce inconsistencies, and improve readability. Whether you are a publisher who needs someone to provide final checks at proof stage, or a business or individual with a report or marketing brochure that needs a polish, I can help get your product ready for its intended audience.My main specialism is chemical engineering, which I studied at degree level, and related fields such as materials science, physics and maths, and I am confident proofreading text that deals with any of these subjects. Other subjects I have good knowledge of include football, hiking, angling, nature and film, but I will consider working on material concerning any topic.As part of my proofreading training I completed the Publishing Training Centre’s Basic Proofreading by Distance Learning course, for which I received a distinction, and the SfEP's Proofreading Progress course. I am a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).
