I will proofread and edit up to 500 words of your writing

A clean piece of writing earns trust, and this is the low-risk way to see exactly how your words read after a professional edit before you send a whole manuscript. You hand over up to 500 words and get them back polished — spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and flow all tightened, with your own voice left intact.

It is designed as a taster. Rather than commit a full chapter, article or document straight away, you receive a finished sample so you can see the level of care and the kind of corrections made. A blog post, an opening page, an academic abstract, a personal statement or a section you simply want a second pair of eyes on all sit comfortably at this length.

Every edit is done by hand, never by automated software. You receive two files: a clean, corrected version ready to use, and a tracked-changes copy so you can see precisely what was altered and why. One round of adjustments is included if you would like anything revisited, and you can specify UK or US English.

If the result is what you were hoping for, the same approach extends to full manuscripts, longer articles and ongoing editing. This short proofread is the easiest place to begin.
