Why Choose Markham Correct?
With so many people now offering copyediting and proofreading services, why should you choose me to make your manuscript shine? I’m glad you asked! As a full-time publishing professional since 2014, here’s a taste of what I offer:
- From Science Fiction to Self-Help, Spicy Romance to Academic Texts, I’m comfortable and experienced
- I have an Honours degree in English Language & Literature
- I’m a qualified teacher with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, specialising in English Literature
- I’m a published author with HarperCollins UK
- I’m approachable, diligent, and professional, offering reasonable rates and fast turnaround times
- I provide references and testimonials from a range of successful authors
- I supply a free, no-obligation quote and sample edit of up to 2,000 words as standard.
Which service can I help you with?
I’ve provided both copyediting and proofreading services for over a decade, and the question I encounter most from prospective clients is, ‘Which one do I need?’ Many debut authors, in particular, are unsure which service is right for their manuscript. If you fall into this category, don’t worry, just drop me a line! I’ll be happy to discuss your project, consider your needs, and point you in the right direction. I can also offer a sample of each service if required.
In the meantime, in the simplest of terms:
- When copyediting, I improve the clarity, readability, and flow of your manuscript, as well as checking for grammatical errors, plot oversights, and inconsistencies.
- When proofreading, I review the final draft of your manuscript to ensure consistency and accuracy in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
