Why choose Markham Correct?

A full-time professional for over six years now, I copy-edit and proofread for both British and American publishers, as well as independent authors from all corners of the globe. I’m comfortable and experienced within a wide range of genres.

I hold an honours degree in English language and literature from the University of Reading, and a PGCE from Oxford Brookes University. Outside of the day job I’m a published author with Harpercollins UK, and have a solid understanding of the end-to-end publication process from both sides of the desk.

I offer an experienced, no-nonsense approach with reasonable rates and fast turnaround times, and have a stable and extensive client base who are always happy to provide references if required.

A free, no-obligation quote for your MS

Whether you’re looking for a proofreader or a copy-editor, I offer a free sample edit of up to 2,000 words. Providing the full word count of the MS is included, I will attach a fixed quote upon return. Prices for editing will vary depending upon the level of intervention required; for this reason, I don’t offer a flat rate, and will instead gauge the level from your sample and quote accordingly. This ensures you get a fair, tailored price for your individual needs, and know exactly what the cost of your completed MS will be from the outset. It also allows you to get a feel for my style before moving forward. All quotes are valid for six months.

Please see my Portfolio and Testimonials for reference, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
