Welcome. I check your text for spelling, grammar, punctuation and consistency of style.
I work with websites, menus, brochures, presentations and documents.

on to find out more about what I do and how I do it.

Why use a proofreader?
Because words matter. They build trust. People are put off by poor spelling and muddled
writing. If you can't fix typos on your menu or website, what does that say about the rest
of what you do?

Trouble is, when you've spent hours working on a key piece of text you tend to become word-blind and stop noticing mistakes. We all do it, professional writers included.

That's where proofreaders come in. They bring a fresh pair of eyes to your work and spot
the mistakes you've missed. Far better to catch mistakes before you publish online or start a
print run, than to have them pointed out to you by customers after the fact.

What I do
Check your text for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors and ensure headlines,
bullet points, company names, place names and other style points are applied consistently.

I look at websites, documents, presentations, hotel literature, menus and brochures - any
form of written word - and I keep it confidential.

I can make suggestions on improving your text, if you like, such as rewriting awkward
sentences or using plain English so your message is readily understood.

Because I'm in New Zealand, I may be able to provide an overnight service for northern hemisphere customers on request. Fire off your documents before you leave work one
day, and they can be back in your inbox by morning.

The service is carried out by Julie Starr and a network of capable colleagues as required.

How I do it
You tell me what you want done, when, and any special requirements you have. If you'd
like a quote for the whole job upfront, email me the details along with a sample document
and I'll get back to you with a quote.

You can send me text in a pdf, html, Word, Excel, Power Point, Publisher, Visio,
Notepad, Google Docs & Spreadsheets or Open Office document, in an email or
through the post.

I'll let you know when your documents have arrived safely and confirm payment details.
Then I'll read your document and make amendments using Track Changes (where the
format allows) so you can see the original text, the changes and notes I've made and the
final, clean document.
