SERVICES
The Blue Pencil specializes in proofreading and editing emails, messages, images, presentations, documents, and manuscripts in British and American English. I will identify and suggest corrections to ensure your writing is polished and perfectly* written. If something is incorrectly written or needs "tweaking," I can suggest changes to make it grammatically correct. My rate starts at $5.00 / £4.15 per 500 words, depending on project complexity, subject matter/genre, turnaround time, number of passes, and other similar factors. Contact me with your project details for further information. I'm here to help.
I will:
· check spelling.
· check grammar and punctuation.
· check sentence structure.
I work with:
· Microsoft Word.
· Google Docs.
· PDFs.
· American English and British English.
* Unfortunately nothing is 'perfect' or 'flawless', see my statement for further guidance and what to expect when employing an editor or proofreader.

Working in the print industry, higher education, and advertising and marketing has given me an understanding of a variety of client's needs. As a graduate of Proofread Anywhere I am able to use track changes, implement CMOS and other style rules, correct errors usually missed by grammar checkers, ensure formatting consistency, and punctuate dialogue. As a Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), I abide by its Code of Practice (CoP). The CoP is endorsed by the CIEP Council and is considered binding on members and corporate subscribers.
MY CLIENTS
The multi-page directory of artists was integral to the marketing material for Open Studios West Berkshire & North Hampshire. Attention to detail was required for both the text and the image elements. As part of a volunteer team, I enjoyed this project very much and completed it every year from 2003 to 2018.
