Professional Freelance Proofreading and Editing Services

​Holtby Editorial offers  proofreading and copyediting services to businesses, NGOs and charities.

 

​​​​​​​I will ensure your organization’s documentation conforms to your house style or preferred style guide, ensure grammar, spelling, punctuation and syntax are correct, and improve clarity, suggesting ways to rephrase content for greater impact (if you'd like me to), reducing or increasing the word count as directed by you.

​​

Content which is otherwise high quality can be undermined by errors (even small inconsistencies) in punctuation, grammar, spelling, style, or formatting, which can lead readers to question an organization's credibility. It can be extremely advantageous to have an external eye cast over content which may have been compiled from a variety of different creators or sources, within or external to your organization, as well as that created from scratch by busy employees. High quality editing lends your company literature a level of refinement and ensures your message is delivered professionally.

​I was involved in the production and editing of documents for over 15 years in local government. I have since completed editorial training through the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), attaining merits and a distinction. This, alongside my first-class honours degree in Business & Management, means I am well-equipped to proof-edit a variety of documentation created by businesses, NGOs and the third sector.
