Welcome to MDC Editproof
Do you worry that your writing may contain typos?
Do you struggle to contend with spelling, punctuation and grammar?
Do you feel that your writing may not flow well or that it is not written in a way that is understandable to your target audience?
This is where a proofreader and/or editor comes in and makes your writing look professional. So, if you need a professional, reliable and approachable proofreader and/or editor, I may be just the person you’re looking for.
I have a Level 4 Diploma in Proofreading and Editing from the College of Media and Publishing (distinction). I am also a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. I have a BA (Hons) in Childhood and Youth Studies from the Open University.
My previous experience includes:
- Over 20 years working in the education sector, and I was often asked to proofread students’ work.
- Working in a variety of curriculum areas such as: law, business, health and social care, construction, hair and beauty and engineering. So, I am familiar with the terminology in these areas.
- Working with many students who had various learning difficulties. I believe this gives me an incisive insight into why many people struggle to write in a way that flows well. I also understand why many people find spelling, punctuation and grammar difficult.
I am proficient in the use of Microsoft Track Changes and Adobe Reader.
I can proofread and edit a diverse range of material, including:
- Academic or professional textbooks.
- Research papers, dissertations and other academic material.
- Newspaper articles.
- Magazine articles.
- Webpages.
- Journals.
- Business and marketing literature.
- Directories and catalogues.
- Fiction and non-fiction books.
- Online publications.
- Workplace documents.
