Why hire a proofreader?

Proofreading is the final step in the editing process. Hiring a proofreader is important to ensure your content is accurate and your material professional. Proofreaders catch spelling, grammar and punctuation errors, which can make a business, book or blog look unprofessional if left unchecked. They also make sure formatting adheres to the style of each piece, such as making sure all headings are formatted with the same bold font and unnecessary spaces are deleted. Essentially, proofreaders provide the extra “watchful eye” helping to eliminate any oversight before publication.

Do you need a proofreader for that final quality check? Someone who will help get your work looking clean and professional? Watchful Eye Proofreading is dedicated to carefully examining your writing, word for word, punctuation mark by punctuation mark, to catch and fix anything overlooked in the previous editing steps.

As your proofreader, I will closely examine your text and correct any remaining typos or mistakes. This includes errors in the following areas:

  • Grammar
  • Spelling
  • Punctuation
  • Simple formatting

I also check other details to guarantee accuracy, including:

  • Page numbers
  • Links to websites
  • Table of contents
  • Captions for illustrations
  • References and citations

• Academic papers
• Blog posts and articles
• Books
• Business documents and newsletters
• Website and email content
• Social media posts
