I offer professional and reliable English proofreading, copy editing, and copywriting services, tailored for the software industry. My expertise extends to transforming average software documentation, training documentation, training programs, websites, marketing material, blog articles, short stories, and manuscripts into adept and polished work. I ensure clarity, accuracy, and professionalism. Additionally, I cross-check the copy against the software to ensure that end users will understand it.

Proofreading

This is the lightest level of involvement and is suitable for the final check before the text is published. Proofing consist of a check for superficial errors such as misspelled words, missing punctuation, extra paragraph breaks, incorrect formatting and any other gremlins that might have been missed in a full copy edit. A proofread does not include any text improvements – it is simply a process to catch the last little errors before publishing. The proofread will always happen on the final typeset draft with track changes switched on in order to see what has been fixed.

Copy editing

This is a more intensive process that involves looking at things like writing style, sentence flow, word repetition and overall structure. An edit can involve some rephrasing of passages and reworking of complex sentences to improve readability or clarity of argument. All changes are done using Track Changes, so after the copy edit, it is returned to the user to approve or reject the changes and to attend to any other notes I have made.
