Welcome. Need a quality check on your written work?
I offer proofreading and copy-editing services to publishers, self-publishers, students and businesses. Based in Manningtree, Essex, not far from Colchester and Ipswich, my aim is to ensure your written material is free of mistakes, effective and consistent.
Got a tight deadline? That's fine – I'm happy to work under pressure to help you meet it.
I'm fully trained and, having both on-screen and paper-based experience, I'm flexible in my methods and formats. Although I'll consider working with any subject matter, I specialise in certain areas, in particular, linguistics, sociology, sport and music.

What my clients say about me...
Copy-editing"Pete has completed a couple of copyediting projects for me now, returning good quality work and adapting as needed to meet specific publisher style guides and preferences. He stays in communication throughout the editing stage, raising queries where necessary, to ensure the work he is completing is of the standard expected, which is greatly appreciated. I would certainly send more work his way."
Jess Bithrey, Newgen Publishing UK "We have used Pete's editing services for two recent sport titles and have been very satisfied. He returned the jobs on time, showed good attention to detail and was easy to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending him."
Jane Camillin, Pitch Publishing |
Proofreading"We've worked with Pete on several proofreading projects and he has proven to be a safe and very professional pair of hands – reliable, responsive and generally great to work with."
Peter Clayburn, Director, The Proofreading Company (now Tate and Clayburn) "Pete provided me with a thorough and extremely useful proofread. I'd definitely book him again."
Vaarunika Dharmapala, Bristol University Press and Policy Press "I found Pete's proofreading skills to be top-notch. He worked with a complicated design brief, picked up on subtle points and returned a very clear and concise mark up. I would highly recommend him."
Julie Bennett, Bespoke Publishing Ltd. |
