services for your
business and home.
Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading
Hello. Thanks for stopping by.
Errors. Typos. Grammatical mitsakes. Misspelt names. They’re a nightmare. Diminishing your credibility, putting off customers and turning away potential employees. But you knew that already, right? That’s why you’re here. (Either that or you typed in the wrong URL.)
They can also be pesky little things and very tricky to spot. Did you see the one above for example? If I'm honest, that was quite an easy one to spot too.
So, whether you’re looking for a basic proofread to pick up those typos, spelling and punctuation errors or a deeper line-by-line proofread with copyediting support, Proofcopy can help.

About Proofcopy
My name is Martha and with over 25 years’ experience working in creative advertising agencies, there aren’t many things I haven’t been asked to copyedit or proof during my career.
I also have a sizeable track record for supporting family and friends with their documents and correspondence – be it to challenge a parking ticket, complain to a service provider, or update a CV.
Ultimately, it’s all about presenting yourself in the best light possible and ensuring your audience takes you seriously.
