Experience

Here are just some of the books I have proofread for publishers …

I also proofread History Today – the world’s leading serious history magazine – every month.

For a few years I proofread my local parish newsletter. This was the editor’s testimonial …

“Lynne has worked with me as a proofreader of our community newsletter for two years. She is always very efficient and reliable, meaning I never have to worry about print deadlines. With a mixture of contributors and styles of writing it can sometimes prove a challenge to maintain a consistent standard, but Lynne always ensures this happens. I have come to rely on her to pick up mistakes in both grammar and style of layout we use in the magazine. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending her work.”
