About this Gig
This is the final step before submitting or publishing your document.
I will deliver a meticulous proofreading pass (also called a final polish, final pass, proofing pass, error check, or quality check) to catch the last errors before you turn in your work. This service focuses on typos, grammar, punctuation, and formatting consistency while preserving your original voice and meaning.
You'll receive:
- a Track Changes copy with corrections
- a Clean Copy for easy review
- An editing checklist to clearly show the editing process
This gig is ideal for academic, business, marketing, and creative documents that have already been structurally revised and content-edited (by an editor or by you).
See my FAQs for more information, and please reach out before placing an order to confirm my availability.
I look forward to working with you!

FAQ
What qualifies you to proofread my document?
I have a BA in French and journalism, an MA in publishing and creative writing, and I’m a contract editor for a major U.S. proofreading service. I proofread with a detail-focused, professional standard.
What types of documents do you accept?
Academic papers, essays, theses/dissertations (sections), reports, business documents, proposals, emails, website copy, manuals, and general professional documents.
What is proofreading (and what isn’t it)?
Proofreading is a final error check for typos, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting consistency. It is not a structural edit or a content/line edit.
When should I book proofreading?
Proofreading should come after structural revisions and content editing—whether those were completed by an editor or by you.
What will I receive?
You’ll receive a Clean Copy and a Track Changes copy with corrections, plus a final formatting consistency check.
Do you follow APA/MLA/Chicago style?
Yes. If you specify a style guide (APA, MLA, CMOS, etc.), I will adhere to those conventions as I proofread.
Will you check citations and references?
I can check basic consistency and formatting, but I won’t verify sources or fact-check content.
How confidential is this?
My process is completely confidential. I won’t share or reuse your content (NDA available on request).
What do you need from me to start?
Your document file (Word preferred; PDF accepted), word count, dialect (US/UK/AUS), and any required style guide (APA/MLA/CMOS).
Do you accept AI-assisted documents?
I DO NOT accept AI-generated or AI-assisted ACADEMIC work. The basic use of grammar tools (e.g., Grammarly, ProWritingAid) is welcome. I DO accept AI-generated content for non-academic materials (e.g., marketing or web copy) without a defined author.
