Services
Working with you either in person in Hobart, Tasmania or via email, phone or fax, I am able to thoroughly and accurately check over your documents and provide you with the following services.
Proofreading
Proofreading is an often overlooked subject in these days of automatic spellcheckers and grammar checkers. However, anyone who has ever used the automatic grammar checker in software such as Microsoft Word will know that its results are less than inspiring.
Spellchecking software will not pick up words that are spelt correctly yet are used incorrectly and is often set to use Americanised spellings, such as “color” instead of “colour”.
Editorial Services
Whether you want to spice up your writing, or don’t know exactly how to word what you want to say, I have had many, many years of experience in making suggestions and in rephrasing to avoid oft repeated mistakes, such as: “piano wanted for a lady with ivory legs”!
Where I feel that rephrasing or rewriting would be beneficial, I will suggest alternatives, but you will always have the final say in this regard.
