An Experienced Pair of Eyes

Human eyes are expert at scanning over words and ‘correcting’ misspelt words – especially when it’s our own writing.

Try reading this:

It deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod aeappr, olny taht the frist and lsat ltteres are in the rghit pcleas. The rset can be a cmolpete mses and sitll be raed wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by ilstef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

But errors look careless.

If someone is reading what you have written then you have achieved the first objective, catching their attention.

To then lose impact through bad spelling or grammar, or poorly constructed sentences, is simply a waste of the time and energy you have invested.

Proofreading Guy has over 18 years experience of working with all kinds of people who use the written word - publishers, writers, printers, web-designers, magazine editors, students, teachers, advertisers, sign makers, Government agencies, the European Commission and many more.

Proofreading Guy can add the professional touch so that you can make the right impression that will give you the edge.

Web Content

There is so much information on the web nowadays that getting people around the world to view your page is difficult in itself.

So when you do get visitors to your website, you want to make an immediate impression and a lasting impact so that people will keep coming back.

Errors and inconsistencies in the text or layout won’t help you to create the impression you’re looking for.

Proofreading Guy can help you make sure you connect with your visitors so that they become regulars.

Students

If you have a project, report or submission, maximising your result is important and Proofreading Guy can help you gain a competitive advantage.

Errors in the text look careless and create the wrong impression and a second pair of eyes will correct the mistakes so that your work is assessed on what you say not how you say it.

If you have a deadline coming up, Proofreading Guy can turn projects around quickly – and overnight if required.

Speakers of English as a Second Language

Proofreading Guy has been working with students of English for many years.

Trying to write what you want to say in your native language is difficult enough – doing it in another language can be extremely difficult and frustrating.

Proofreading Guy makes sure that your written English is at the same level as that of a native speaker.

Plain English

We all have experience of letters and emails from institutions and organisations that are impossibly difficult to understand.

Sometimes it’s almost like they don’t want you to understand!

Proofreading Guy supports the campaign for Plain English against gobbledygook, jargon and misleading public information.

Everyone should have access to clear and concise information.
