David T.

Hello there! I am a freelance proofreader, new to this site, that has been working in proofreading for over a year. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) in the UK, so you can be assured that my proofreading work is of a high quality. I am an ex-teacher of 25 years and have a degree in English; therefore, I have an excellent knowledge of English grammar and punctuation. I always concentrate 100% on each proofreading job that I do and work hard to ensure that the client is totally happy with the result. I can do quick turnarounds if needed and I believe in good, positive communication with the client. I have proofread a variety of genres e.g. stories, leaflets, journals, websites and am always happy to take on genres of all descriptions. Proofreading is all about maintaining the client's voice so I will only edit sentence structure if the client asks for this service. It is always important that the client understands the difference between proofreading and copy-editing. I am experienced, friendly and professional with an excellent grasp of the English language and all of its nuances and I take pride in all of the work that I do for my clients.
