proofreading
& Copy Editing
from £40 per hour
how can i make my copy as effective as possible?
If you’ve already got a load of text but want it checked for accuracy, typos and general effectiveness I offer a proof-reading and editing service. This includes web copy, press releases, social media channels and more and is particularly popular with businesses who are translating to English from another language and want to make sure none of the intended meaning gets lost.
Overview
I am a self-confessed word nerd and I love writing. Before I started working in Marketing I got my BA in English and Creative Writing and since then I’ve loved crafting words together to create action.
With the continuing developments of AI, it can be tempting to get a bot to write your content for you, but ChatGPT will never be able to capture the nuances and personality of your business like a human can.
If writing is not for you, or you want some support in making your written content sing, I can help. Whether its articles, blog posts, newsletters, essays, pitches, press releases, product descriptions or social media captions, let’s elevate your business with the power of words. Get in touch to book your session.
What’s included?
I will use my marketing expertise to make suggestions based on the purpose and audience of the text. This means adopting the appropriate tone of voice for your brand, purpose and objective.
Included as standard:
Correcting grammar, spelling, tense and punctuation
Improving syntax and broadening vocabulary use
Ensuring English readability and suitability for intended purpose
At additional cost (if required):
Larger structural revisions and explanation of changes
Readability for American English
Cost
The starting cost for my proofreading and copy editing service is £40 per hour. The volume covered will depend on the complexity of the project but generally you can expect me to cover around 3 A4 pages within an hour. Full quotation can be provided once I have received your document.
Testimonials
Eric - GoBoat
“We have used Emily's proofreading and copy-editing services to ensure that our written communication resonates with English-speakers as much as it does with our native Danish audience. It is really helpful having someone who takes the time to understand the purpose of the copy while still capturing our tone of voice. Emily also provides useful commentary on her editing choices so that we can understand the different nuances in language and implement them in future work.”
