Find a way with words…..  hire your own Pernickety Proofreader!

The Write Words?!  Your premises and staff may sparkle in every respect but you still won’t impress your customers completely if your website, product brochures, advertising material and general day-to-day correspondence don’t stand up to scrutiny. In your haste to get a job done, and with so many other things to think about, you may not notice spelling mistakes, bad grammar and (even worse) factually incorrect text, but some of your customers will! They may laugh at certain errors, but they’ll think you’re unprofessional, which could cost you their business at the end of the day. Impressions count and your written documentation needs to look good. That’s where I come in, again. Why?

A truly personal service from a business professional

Speedy turnaround of work

Outstanding attention to detail

Total confidentiality

Competitive prices                                  

here’s the proof

1. I’m trained in the art of copy-editing and proofreading, which means I’ve spent a long time learning how the written word should be used correctly and to maximum effect, and how to spot errors and make revisions before documents go to print or your website goes live.

1. I'm happy to work on copywriting or editing projects of any sort or size. You may be preparing an advert or article and want it to be in your words, not the publisher’s, but are struggling. You may have to produce the text for a company website, leaflet or brochure, and just can’t get it to sound quite right.  You may want to send out a newsletter to your customers and need help to make it read correctly. Or you may have to write a particularly difficult letter in as concise a way as possible. These are the jobs I love!

1. I’ll proofread any document, large or small, to ensure absolutely that there aren’t any errors or omissions present in your hard work. Trickier than it sounds incidentally, but a treat for an absolute perfectionist with an eye for detail. That’s me by the way.

• I’m able to provide my unique Pernicketyproof Portfolio to small businesses. I’ll sit down with you to find out about the sort of correspondence you use on a regular basis and look at how it can be improved to present a more professional image. Then I’ll draft for your approval a set of documents to cover all relevant aspects of your business and provide these on disc for your ongoing use. Ask for more details (click to enquire)
