Services

Proofreading and editing are vital for businesses of any size. Whether it’s a report, website, press release or manual, your written content represents your brand and influences how others perceive you. A single mistake can make a poor first impression and even harm your company’s reputation—more on that in my blog.

I’m deeply passionate about editing and copywriting for a range of projects, from books and websites to reports, marketing materials and press releases. With years of experience and training, I’ve developed a keen eye for editorial excellence and effective copywriting.

My client relationships are founded on trust and I’m known for stepping in at a moment’s notice, offering practical solutions and meeting tight deadlines. I anticipate potential challenges, manage changes smoothly and ensure projects are completed on time and to the highest standard.

“I’ve been working with Caroline for many years now (since 2013) and she is the best! If you’re looking for proofreading or editing related tasks, she is the person to speak to – you won’t be disappointed!

She is 100% reliable and great at turning work around quickly. The thing with Caroline is, that if she has completed a task for you, then you know it will have been done well.

Caroline is particularly great for writing, editing and proofreading but basically anything Admin related – she is the ‘go to person’.”

My business services

♦ Copywriting

I believe in upholding exceptionally high standards of quality in everything I write. My passion lies in crafting engaging, well-written, and error-free content that connects with the intended audience. I understand the power of words in shaping a brand’s identity and message, and I take pride in ensuring every sentence works hard to capture the essence of the subject matter.

When copywriting, my goal is to elicit a response—whether it’s getting people to feel, think, or, most importantly, engage. I look for unique approaches that set the content apart while ensuring it still resonates and grabs the reader’s attention. It’s about finding that perfect balance between creativity and clarity, so the message not only informs but also makes a lasting impact.

Whether it’s creating SEO-friendly website copy, press articles, blogs, or marketing materials, I approach each project with fresh eyes, ensuring the content is tailored to resonate with the target audience. I’m adept at taking complex topics and presenting them in a way that’s both clear and compelling, making sure the message shines through without losing the reader’s interest.

When it comes to solving editorial challenges, I thrive on thinking outside the box. I enjoy finessing and refining content, tweaking it until it’s just right. From ensuring consistency in tone and style to sharpening the focus of a message, I go the extra mile to make sure the end result is informative, engaging, and perfectly suited to the client’s needs. Whether working with businesses or individuals, across various industries, my goal is to deliver polished, professional, and impactful copy every time.

♦ Copy-editing

I offer comprehensive copy-editing services, covering all aspects of the editing process to ensure your content is clear, concise, and compelling. With a meticulous eye for detail, I focus on improving the flow, structure, and overall readability of your text, whether it’s for business reports, marketing materials, e-books, websites, or newsletters.

Copy-editing is about more than just fixing grammar and punctuation—it’s about refining the voice and tone to suit your audience, ensuring consistency in style, and making sure every piece of content aligns with your brand’s message and objectives. I take great care in identifying areas where clarity can be improved, restructuring sentences where necessary, and eliminating redundancies while preserving the essence of your message.

I work across a wide range of industries, offering tailored solutions that address specific editorial needs, from ensuring technical accuracy in reports to enhancing the persuasive power of marketing content. My approach is collaborative—I respect the original intent of the author while making suggestions that elevate the material, making it polished and professional.

Whether your content needs a light touch or an in-depth edit, my goal is to ensure it’s not only free of errors but also engaging and effective, leaving a lasting impression on your readers.

♦ Proofreading

I’ve worked and trained extensively to become an exceptional proofreader, honing my skills to ensure that every piece of content I review is polished to perfection. While exemplary attention to detail is a key part of my process, I also bring strong visual awareness and a methodical approach to identifying errors and inconsistencies that others may overlook.

My proofreading services cover all types of business content, from reports, website text and social media posts to newsletters, marketing materials and e-books. I meticulously check for errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling, ensuring that your message is conveyed clearly and professionally. But it doesn’t stop there—I also focus on refining awkward sentences and eliminating ambiguity, so your readers never have to stumble over unclear phrasing or misinterpret your meaning.

Whether you need a quick review of an article or an in-depth proof of a full e-book, I’m committed to delivering content that is error-free, consistent and ready to make the best possible impression on your audience. My goal is to ensure that your work not only reads flawlessly but also resonates with your readers, enhancing both clarity and impact across all forms of written communication.

♦ Business research and fact-checking

Research is a crucial element in ensuring the accuracy and credibility of your business content and my services cover a wide range of needs. Whether you’re publishing a report, press release, company magazine or designing a survey, I can help verify that names, events, statistics, prices and details are precise and up-to-date. This extends to revising handbooks, directories, manuals and other essential documents, where accuracy is key to maintaining professionalism and trust.

I gather data through various means, including existing documentation, books, libraries, forms, databases and even site visits or work environment observations. I also conduct thorough research through questionnaires and interviews, ensuring that all information is meticulously sourced and verified.

No matter the project, I bring a methodical approach to fact-checking, ensuring every detail is correct before it reaches your audience. Whether it’s editorial, financial or technical research, my goal is to provide you with reliable, accurate data that strengthens the integrity of your content and enhances your reputation.

♦ Website design services

I also offer bespoke WordPress website design services, ideal for businesses seeking a polished and professional online presence. Specialising in 5 to 8 page websites, I work closely with each client to ensure their website not only meets their specific needs but also reflects the essence of their brand. Every project begins with a thorough consultation, allowing me to fully understand your vision and deliver a website that truly resonates with your audience.

A standard 5-page website typically includes a Home page, About Us page, Services page, Blog/News page and Contact Us page, but these can be tailored to fit your unique requirements. If additional pages are needed, they can be easily added at £100 per page. This basic package, priced at £650, covers DNS protection and privacy, and both the design and copywriting of any necessary text, ensuring a seamless, cohesive result. While clients are encouraged to provide their own images, I can source them at an additional cost.

Optional add-ons include:

  • Domain name purchase & setup: I can take care of securing and setting up your domain, so you don’t have to worry about the technical details. Most domain names cost approximately £15 per year.
  • Website hosting setup: I can assist in setting up the best hosting solution for your needs, the cost of hosting will be approximately £150 per year.
  • Ongoing support: Whether you need regular updates, new blog posts or improvements to your existing site, I offer comprehensive support to keep your website fresh and engaging.

For more complex projects, such as WooCommerce, membership sites or custom development including Google integration, please contact me to discuss your specific needs and I can provide a quotation for the additional services, as these are more complex. No matter the scope, my goal is to create a stunning, user-friendly website that elevates your brand and leaves a lasting impression on your audience.
