As a professional proofreader, I will thoroughly review your text in its final layout by:

• correcting grammar, spelling and punctuation
• checking consistency of style (e.g. -ise or -ize spelling, names, capital letters)
• checking consistency of layout (e.g. headings, spacing, paragraphs)
• checking chapter headings against the table of contents
• checking the position of tables and illustrations and that their captions match with the text
• checking cross-references
• querying repetitive, contradictory, ambiguous or unclear text
• highlighting anything that requires further action.

Depending on your requirements, I can proofread on hard copy using BSI proof-correction marks, or on screen using Track Changes in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat DC commenting tools for marking up PDFs.
