Markham Correct copyediting and proofreading services

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.
