Professional Proofreading Services
Spell-check catches the obvious stuff. It doesn't catch when you wrote "their" instead of "there," or when a sentence is grammatically correct but reads awkwardly. Our proofreaders are native speakers who read your content the way your audience will - and fix what needs fixing.
Beyond Spell-Check
Automated tools miss a lot. They can't tell if you meant "affect" or "effect." They don't notice when a sentence is technically correct but sounds off. They won't flag inconsistent formatting or style drift throughout a document.
A human proofreader catches the things that make readers pause or question your credibility - the small errors that automated tools just don't see.
What We Check
Grammar & Syntax
Subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, sentence structure, modifier placement - the grammatical rules that trip people up.
Spelling & Typos
Homophones (your/you're), commonly confused words (affect/effect), and typos that create real but wrong words.
Punctuation
Commas, apostrophes, quotation marks, hyphens - the punctuation marks that change meaning when misused.
Style & Consistency
Consistent capitalization, number formatting, terminology. We follow your style guide or apply standard conventions.

Proofreading vs. Editing
Worth knowing the difference:
Proofreading (This Service)
The final check before publication. We fix errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation without changing your content or style.
Best for: Content that's already well-written and needs polishing.
Editing
A deeper review that may involve rewriting sentences, restructuring paragraphs, and improving clarity.
Best for: Content that needs more than just error fixes.

Common Questions
How fast can you turn it around?
Most documents under 5,000 words are done in 1-2 business days. Longer documents or rush requests can be accommodated - tell us your deadline.
Will you change my writing style?
No. Proofreading fixes errors without altering your voice. We correct mistakes; we don't rewrite. If you want style improvements, editing would be better suited.
Can you follow a specific style guide?
Yes. If you have a style guide (AP, Chicago, your own internal guide), share it and we'll follow it. Otherwise, we apply standard conventions for your industry.
Do you proofread translations?
Yes, and we recommend it. A native-speaker proofread is the final quality check that makes sure translated content reads naturally and is error-free.
