Skilled and conscientious proofreading and editing…

As an experienced non-fiction proofreader, I offer professional, friendly and personalised editorial support to a variety of clients, ensuring that their written material is free from errors, and consistent in content and presentation. I can also help with the formulation of style sheets and guides where necessary.

I can work on:
  • books and book chapters
  • dissertations and theses
  • journal articles
  • website content
  • blogs and travel writing
  • magazine articles

Ensure that your work is free from those easily missed errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation that can undermine the quality of your content…

I will check for consistency not only in the use of terms and abbreviations, but also in such matters as layout, capitalisation, paragraphing and formatting to improve the appearance and readability of your work.

If you are writing in English as a foreign or second language, I can work with you to help you express your ideas naturally and fluently.

My special areas of interest and experience include:
  • social sciences and humanities
  • South Asia studies – India in particular
  • cultural studies
  • comparative religion
  • permaculture and sustainability
  • development

As every piece of writing is individual in terms of the amount of work needed and level of intervention, it will help me to see a sample of your work (ideally around 1,000 words) before giving an accurate quote and agreeing upon a timescale. I will proofread the sample for free and return it to you without commitment, so that you can see the quality of my work before you decide to proceed.

Contact me to have a short sample of your work proofread for free, and find out how I can help you. Send an email to: rachel@duncanproofreading.com
