The “proof” is in the pudding.
Examples of some of my past endeavours.
Grace Chambers, author of The Ultimate Beginner’s Cat Training Guide
The Challenge: Making sure Grace had formatted the book consistently due to the large number of titles, sub-titles, and headings.
The Strategy: Ensuring there are no embarrassing mistakes left in the manuscript and that all fonts and formatting look clean and readable.
“Lucy was more of a partner than a proofreader concerning this project. I thought I had caught all my errors, but Lucy really added something extra by ensuring my book had no embarrassing mistakes. She even let me use photos of her beloved cat, Tiger. That was a wonderful bonus.”
— GRACE CHAMBERS, author and cat trainer
Sabrina Ericson, author of The Clear Skin Blueprint
The Challenge: To ensure there were no formatting errors or inconsistencies and that the same words are spelled consistently throughout.
The Strategy: Finding those tricky mistakes hidden in plain sight, while being respectful to Sabrina’s unique voice.
“Lucy was an invaluable resource in completing this book. It is great to feel confident and know that my writing does not contain any unnecessary distractions that could detract from my message.”
— SABRINA ERICSON, writer, skin care enthusiast, and make-up artist
An excerpt from “Ethical Standards of Healthcare Professionals,” an essay by Milly Carter
The Challenge: Making sure each sentence accurately followed the Oxford referencing style.
The Strategy: Fixing any subtle punctuation problems and formatting issues.
“I am so pleased I found Lucy to help me with my essays. It was such a weight off my shoulders knowing my work was free from pesky punctuation errors and all the rest!”
— MILLY CARTER, counsellor and therapist
An excerpt from “Beethoven’s Ninth,” an essay by Michael Rogers
The Challenge: Making sure each sentence accurately followed the Harvard style.
The Strategy: Checking references were written correctly and fixing punctuation errors.
“As a stressed-out student, Lucy’s services were of the utmost value to me. Thorough and meticulous from start to finish, I will be recommending her services to others.”
— MICHAEL ROGERS, undergraduate
An excerpt from “Pioneers of the English Musical Renaissance,” an essay by Scott Wilkes
The Challenge: To provide Scott with an accurate dissertation free from faults and consistent in style.
The Strategy: Ensuring the grammar in the longer sentences was consistent and that there were no embarrassing formatting errors.
“I was a bit skeptical about hiring a proofreader. Couldn’t I just use Grammarly? It works out that no, you cannot rely solely on Grammarly. Lucy was helpful in finding the missed typos and grammar mistakes. Hers was a very valuable and reliable service. I know I will be contacting Lucy again.”
— SCOTT WILKES, undergraduate
