Proofreading is the discipline in which I specialize.
Not only will I check your book or document for spelling and punctuation errors, but I will also weed out any inconsistencies. If Fyodor Dostoevsky is referred to on page 6, I will notice if he is called Dostoyevsky on page 143.
I am happy to carry out editing work on screen using Microsoft Word. This gives me more scope for making adjustments to the text, and to remove any problems before the proofreading stage.
I can also compile a back-of-the-book index for your book or document. I recently completed the index for The Strange Career of a Regency Physician, Charlotte Frost’s excellent biography of Sir William Knighton. I am happy to work to your specified style and guidelines.
I can produce crosswords, wordsearches and sudoku to individual specifications.

I write puzzles for The Meon Valley News, and contributed 180 brainteasers to a jumbo puzzle book produced by Autumn Publishing.
