"Writing is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public."
- Winston Churchill

For most writers the act of writing any type of document can be a threatening process if they lack confidence in their writing skills.  Moreover, if they also attempt to proofread their work at the same time as it is being created, the whole process can quickly turn into a logjam.  Most experienced writers recommend getting ideas down first, in a free and unfettered way. They follow this with a review and proofing. But if you also know that punctuation, spelling and grammar are not your strong suit, this too can become an obstacle course.

 

It is at this point that writers will really benefit from the academically qualified, professional expertise that a WordsRU experienced freelance proofreader will bring to their document. Our team of proofreaders and editors have been individually tested and selected on the basis of their skill and commitment to WordsRU’s editing standards. They will give your manuscript and document needs the impartial overview that sees the work in its entirety and its impact upon your intended audience. They will carry out a grammar and punctuation check, and review English usage, word choice and sentence structure to ensure your work is free from errors.  

 

Whether your document is a business manual, cookbook, technical report, academic thesis or essay; a monthly newsletter, a training manual, manuscript (all genres), CVs, résumés or a personal statement, WordsRU’s online editorial service has the right freelancers — proofreaders and editors / copy editors — to help you to achieve the document you desire.  

 

Our freelance proofreaders will check your documents for:

  • Grammar

  • Punctuation

  • Tense

  • Spelling

  • Typographical errors

  • Word choice

  • Sentence structure

The academically qualified, professional freelance proofreaders and editors at WordsRU are committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your document. As well as proofreading and editing your documents, they will assess the impact of your work on your intended audience and give you crucial feedback and suggestions. Here are some tips from WordsRU’s freelance proofreaders:

Read your document aloud.

This is an excellent way of noting typographical errors and will also make you immediately aware of any awkwardness in your sentences or phrasing.

Take a break before checking something you have just written.

The document will appear fresh and you will be less likely to miss grammatical errors, punctuation and wordiness.

Spell checking

Nothing detracts from a document quicker than spelling mistakes. If you are using a commercial spell-checker be mindful that they will only highlight incorrect spelling; they do not check for incorrect word usage.

Check your document in hard copy

For some writers, errors can be easier to catch by checking a hard copy of the document rather than on a computer screen.
