Proofreading
Busy writers can sometimes overlook proofreading or rely too heavily on software (or their publishing house) to notify them of errors. As a narrator and a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing & Proofreading, I focus on the copy when preparing it for recording. This process can sometimes reveal issues such as inconsistencies of expression or tenses, and even the misnaming of characters or places. A trained pair of eyes can save you embarrassment and extra costs if your work needs revision.
Simple checks of grammar and punctuation or more in-depth checks of legal or factual issues.
My main focus is to assist authors of fiction, particularly those who have followed the self-publishing route.
If you commission me to produce your audiobook, I can also proofread the script for FREE, as part of my preparation process.
“Spellcheck is a marvellous invention, but it can’t stop you from using the wrong word when the wrong word you’ve used is a word (but the wrong word).”
