Proofreading
Proofreading is all about finding errors in formatting, punctuation, grammar, and spelling. It’s the final step before publication, whether it is in print or online. It requires a good grasp of grammar and an eagle eye. I specialize in fiction and creative nonfiction, business documents, and websites and blogs. I won’t accept creative writing projects that include erotica, graphic violence, or excessive language. For new customers, I will proofread the first page for free as a sample of what you can expect.
All projects are kept confidential, and the author keeps the rights. I received a certificate of completion from Proofread Anywhere, and I use the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style for reference. To make it convenient for clients, I receive projects in the following formats: Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or PDF documents.
Fiction & Nonfiction
As a writer, I know how important it is to put your best foot forward. So whether it’s a book or short story, I can make sure your project is polished before it’s published, especially if you’re self-publishing.
Business Documents
With years of experience in the business world, I can ensure your documents, brochures, and publications are a good reflection of you and your company.
Blog Posts & Websites
Before your blog or website goes live, let’s make it shine. Your website is already live? That’s okay. I can look it over for typos, grammar, and punctuation errors. I get it.
It happens.

Pam tackled the editing and proofreading of my book in a timely and engaged manner. Her suggestions for changes met my expectations and were consistently clear and helpful. I was pleased with her work, especially being able to share emails and communicate in a way
that kept me on track for finishing my book.

Pam is a tremendous asset to have when you are working on any writing project. She is creative, sharp, and well-balanced. Pam is well-versed in religion, history, and travel. Her knowledge helps bring a certain depth and color to writing, and she has an “eagle eye” for grammatical errors while knowing the uniqueness of style and format needed for differing genres.

Pam is excellent at formatting content in a contemporary, sharp and easy-to-read way. She has consulted on and helped with final editing on all of our written resources at our martial arts academy. She helps bring focus and clarity to the message we desire to communicate.
