Melissa Wood Consulting

While in the Civil Service, I was trained and certified as a Proofreader. Now, I work with a variety of companies and individuals across the United States. Web designers, marketing/advertising agencies, publishers and small business owners all use me to polish their website content, brochures, manuscripts and other important documents.

Why do you need a proofreader?

Trying to proofread our own work sometimes can be a challenge. After you’ve reviewed your own material many times, it can be easy to overlook mistakes. You’re used to looking at it over and over and it is easy to become “blinded” to content that might be incorrect. Because I will review your documents with a fresh pair of eyes, I will often see things that you might have inadvertently overlooked.

Although computer spell-checkers are useful, they do have limitations. For instance, the word may be spelled correctly, but the incorrect word may be used. An example would be the words “to, too and two.” All three would not set off a spell-checker, but would definitely be incorrect in a sentence if the correct word is not used.

Hiring me as a Proofreader to review your documents and website can save you money and help you project a professional business image. It says you care about your own website and materials which in turn mean you will care about your clients’ too. When what you offer to the public is high quality, it gives a sense of credibility to your customer which can result in more sales for you in the long run.
