Professional Copyeditor and Proofreader.

When you have spent hours immersed in your work, and have come to know it inside and out, it can be difficult to be objective about it (or sometimes even to see what is actually written). A fresh pair of eyes can spot those small errors in punctuation, typography and grammar that have made their way through to your final proof. A proofreader is often the last line of defence against those unprofessional and potentially embarrassing slip-ups and can ensure that your work is clear, consistent, correct and publication-ready.

I am a native-English speaker proficient in Australian, UK and US English conventions. I provide reliable, efficient proofreading and copyediting of a range of document types. Whether you have an e-book, thesis, article, newsletter, brochure, or website requiring review, I am able to ensure that your message reaches your audience without distraction from the content.

My proofreading and copyediting service addresses:

• grammar • syntax • word usage • diction • spelling • typography • punctuation • word breaks and hyphenation • the use of capitalisation, italics and bold face • paragraph indentation • the use of numbers and numerals • font consistency • spacing between lines and words • the use of abbreviations and acronyms • all preliminary pages and endmatter

In addition, I will consider the consistency and continuity of the piece as a whole.

I am able to mark-up in a manner which best suits you and deliver your project in a timely fashion while ensuring your confidentiality.

“Lisa was fantastic at doing a final proof read for my second book on fitness and weight loss called Lazy Loser. She was very fast and professional and gave lots of positive feedback. I would recommend her to anyone who would like editing or proof reading done and I would use her services again.” – Marie Bean, author of Lazy Loser.

“Fast, professional and reliable. What more can you ask for? ” – Lone Wolf magazine

“My expectations were exceeded. I decided to try Lisa based on her response to my job posting, her response was one of a few that were not generic. Lisa reviewed my website, (not included in the original scope of the job) determined exactly what I needed to say and articulated it perfectly. It is a real pleasure working with someone who takes the time to understand. I will hire her for my next job.” — Ron Toews

“The combination of Lisa’s professional approach and keen eye for errors was just what I needed for this masters essay, which used American English.”
