Proofreading Services

Proofreaders are the last line of defense to ensure that your writing is free from errors. In close cooperation with native proofreaders, I offer the following types of proofreading services, either individually or in combination:

• Basic corrections (spelling, grammar, and apparent errors)
• Stylistic proofreading
• Translation and bilingual proofreading
• Academic proofreading of specialist books, diploma theses, etc.
• Print media proofreading for marketing and advertising purposes
• Website proofreading
• Final proofreading

• Basic fact checking, textual correctness

Format:
