Katie Froggatt | Freelance proofreader based in Hertfordshire, UK
Say goodbye to slip-ups.
Do you want your business copy to stand out for all the right reasons?
Then maybe you need someone with a borderline irritating attention to detail (plus quite a lot of training and experience).*
*I mean me, obviously.
And irritating in a good, entirely helpful, and very qualified way.
Why hire a professional, freelance proofreader?
Ensuring your business copy is accurate, easy-to-read and consistent is essential whatever industry you’re in. No matter how much effort you’ve put into your text or how attention-grabbing it is, even the smallest slip-up can distract your audience and impact your business’s credibility.
​​​
If you’ve spent hours on a project and are too familiar with it to notice any errors, or if time and resources in-house are limited, proofreading is the perfect task to outsource.
Hiring me to proofread your copy gives you an invaluable fresh pair of eyes on your text (not literally of course, that would be weird and kind of messy). I won’t just be looking for typos or obscure grammar errors no one else will notice. I’ll also look at consistency, readability, clarity, and more, making sure your copy is the best it can be.
​
And even if you’re using AI-powered grammar/spelling checkers, there’s still much to gain from having a ‘human in the loop’ to give your business copy a final once-over. AI can struggle in areas such as understanding subtle context and nuance, fixing awkward phrasing or syntax, and improving flow, which can result in clunky wording or errors being missed or even introduced. When your business copy is going to be read by people, doesn’t it make sense to have a person check it before it heads out the door?
Here’s what I’ll do when you hire me to proofread your copy.
Check for any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors
Check that text is consistent throughout (names, formatting, etc.)
Highlight all corrections and suggestions in the way most convenient to you
Make sure text adheres to any required house style or formatting
Make sure text flows well and is clear and readable
Work in the format that suits you, such as Word or PDF
