Whether you need copy editing or proofreading for your manuscript for a prospective print or ebook, novella, play or screenplay, we can provide a professional, thorough and cost effective service.

We understand the different requirements and skills involved in dealing with fiction and non-fiction. Whether you've written a manuscript or screenplay in any genre, we realise the importance of preserving the author's voice throughout while still making the story flow on the page. If your forte is non-fiction, we will focus on communicating your ideas clearly and concisely without hindering the narrative.

Whether your intention is to self-publish or you already have a contract with a publisher, your copyright and confidentiality are important to us.

We can usually help with short notice medium length projects but for a long manuscript, it is advisable to book your proofreader or editor in advance, thus ensuring a prompt turnaround time but with the attention to detail you need.

Whether English is your second language or reading conditions such as dyslexia or dyspraxia make it difficult for you to proofead your own work effectively, we can help. We believe our Testimonials page speaks for itself.

Do I need proofreading or editing?
As a quick summary, proofreading is designed for documents that have already been through the editing process. Editing corrects errors but also focuses on writing style, clarity and structure, as well as highlighting any inconsistencies or problem areas and, where necessary, either increases or reduces the overall word count.

Edit to improve. Proofread to correct.
