‘We have worked with the company for many years now. We have always found their service first class. Effective communication, prompt delivery of materials at agreed deadlines and excellent proofreading that has saved us hours of work.’
We’re here as a pair of eagle eyes to iron out the final creases in your publication, eradicating errors that might distract from your ideas and undermine your credibility.
It can be daunting to finally hit send on your research project – not least because when you’ve spent hours working on your document, it’s almost impossible to spot mistakes yourself. Let us catch any remaining errors or inconsistencies before you submit or publish your work.
Our professional proofreaders will work through your document with meticulous care to weed out any final typos, check the layout and ensure consistency. They will also review your text closely against any relevant submission guidelines. When we’re finished, you’ll be confident that your paper is up to scratch before it goes out into the world.
Proofreading is usually carried out when a text needs a final polish before publication, usually when it’s already been edited. If your text requires more extensive work, you’ll need a copyeditor. We’ll be very happy to advise on which service you need – academic copyediting or proofreading – when you get in touch.
Tate & Clayburn has worked on hundreds of papers, dissertations and book manuscripts across a wide range of disciplines, so whatever your field, we’d love to help.
Proofreading involves a series of checks to make sure everything is just right before a document is finalised. A proofreader will correct any remaining errors to ensure nothing’s gone wrong during the final phases of a project, such as design or typesetting. If your text requires more extensive work, you’ll need a copyeditor, and for many projects, we provide both copyediting and proofreading, with or without a design stage in between.
Alongside proofreading, we also offer a reference-checking service to ensure that your bibliography or reference list is consistent, complete and formatted in line with your chosen referencing style. We can also provide a specialist indexing service.
Our expert proofreaders enhance your document by addressing:
| 0 to 5,000 words | up to 1 working day |
|---|---|
| 5,001 to 10,000 word | up to 2 working days |
| 10,001 to 15,000 words | up to 3 working days |

| 20,001–50,000 words | up to 10 working days |
