How do I proofread and copyedit your work?
When working onscreen, I am able to provide quality proofreading and copyediting in the following formats:
When working with these formats, I annotate your work with corrections. When editing, I provide suggestions that you may want to include so that your writing is fluent and polished to a high standard. For annotations, I use functions such as MS Word’s Track Changes, Review and Compare in MS Powerpoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader Annotations.
When working with a hard copy, I annotate using BSI (British Standards Institute) marks or New Hart’s Rules.
