Proofreading
Your message is hella strong.
And now? It’s the details.
Familiarity is a sneaky bugger
You’ve spent months shaping your words into a beautiful behemoth ready to fire up your readers.
But at some point you stopped crafting and started shifting around your emotional support commas like they’re Blu Tack-ed boyband posters.
By the time your content reaches its final draft, another read-through won’t reveal much. You’re waaaay past reading it – you’re remembering it.
Your brain already knows what it’s meant to say.
Mine doesn’t.
I’m here to proofread transformational content for bold creators.
Ebooks. Guides. Workbooks. Course materials. Email sequences. Website content that isn’t on the site yet. All the juicy long-form content you’ve poured your energy into until it’s as overflowing as the Midori at all-inclusive Marbella tiki bar.
Proofreading starts from £120.
What I review (and might find…)
◑ Language
The name of your signature programme appears 17 times throughout the guide. Two of them aren’t quite right.
◑ Consistency
A switch from ‘manifesting generator’ to ‘Mani-Gen’ and back.
◑ Content
A link leads to an old product page and you’re missing out on sales.
◑ Reader experience
There’s a comma missing and the meaning isn’t as clear as you intended... the sentence can be read three different ways!
Why it matters
Readers rarely notice all the little inconsistencies consciously.
Nope. As they move through your message they experience a low-level friction (which sounds way more enjoyable than it should).
That friction builds.
And by the end of your content? They’re left with an unsettling impression they can’t place.
That’s NOT how you want them to feel.
What you’ll get…
✦ A reviewed document showing suggested amendments for errors and inconsistencies.
✦ Comments highlighting queries, potential issues and anything that needs your attention.
✦ A style sheet recording editorial decisions for consistency throughout your document and future content.
✦ A final review from someone looking for the details you’ve stopped noticing.
I’m not here to change your voice. I remove the accidental distractions that weren’t meant to be there in the first place.
Ready for that final review?

It isn’t proofreading if it still needs…

EVOLVING
You’re writing, restructuring and tweaking your message.

SHAPING
You’re looking for feedback on structure and flow, or what content you still need to include.
⚡︎
EDITING
You need someone to rewrite, soften or smooth over your voice.
So you’re not ready yet? S’all cool, babez.
Finish shaping the message first, then head back here when you’re ready for that final proofreading review. I’ll be all hyped up to get down to some juicy proofy fun.
And if you need an editor? I know some fab people and I’m always happy to get my matchmaking on.
And if you ARE ready to protect the power of your message?
