Why Choose Markham Correct?
With so many copyediting and proofreading services available, why should you choose me to make your manuscript shine?
As a full-time publishing professional since 2014, here’s a taste of what I offer:
- I’m approachable, diligent, and professional, offering reasonable rates and quick turnarounds
- 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
- My experience ranges from Science Fiction to Self-Help, Spicy Romance to Academic Texts
- 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.
Which service is right for you?
The concern I encounter most from debut authors is a level of uncertainty over whether they need a copyeditor or a proofreader.
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.
A proofread generally takes place after several rounds of edits, but I’m always happy to discuss individual circumstances and to offer a sample of each service if required.
