About Louise ...

I am a highly recommended professional proofreader specializing in academic and professional titles in the social sciences and humanities, as well as trade fiction and non-fiction. I have spent my entire working life (23 years) within the publishing industry and have been freelance since 2006. I am an Advanced Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP) and trained as a proofreader with the Publishing Training Centre, qualifying with distinction. To date I have proofread over 300 books. 

Proofreading services for publishers ...

If you want to work with a trusted proofreader who has an in-house background, industry-recognized training, endorsements from your colleagues, and plenty of experience, please get in touch. I can work onscreen or on paper, blind or against copy, and on large jobs or small. I always deliver within budget, never miss a deadline, and pride myself on being able to follow a client's brief. 

Proofreading services for people ...

If you’re an independent author, student or business practitioner who needs a quality check on your manuscript, article, letter, personal statement, CV, website or report, contact me to discuss your project. I offer a friendly and flexible service that focuses on your particular needs. I'll ensure you've achieved consistency with regards to layout and style, iron out any awkward non-standard phrasing, and eradicate grammar, punctuation and spelling errors.
