“Let’s eat Mother!”
“Let’s eat, Mother!”
The difference between these two sentences is...a comma. But what an important difference it is! Just that one comma, or lack of, can portray you as a man-eating monster, or as a loving person inviting a parent to dinner. I know which one I prefer to be!
How can you prevent this awkward blunder?
Expert proofreading is the solution to avoiding this type of oversight in your writing. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a fresh pair of eyes read through your book before you publish it, or examine your thesis for errors before you submit it to your university tutor. No matter how many times you scan your text, you are highly likely to miss a few mistakes, because what you read is competing with the version you have from memory. This makes you see only what you want to see, not what you actually wrote, which leaves your business website riddled with typos and looking highly unprofessional.
And so, this is where I come in!

Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process: detecting errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation; ensuring conformity in style and structure; and polishing off the text to make it look professional. I will do all that, and more, at a reasonable price and give your work or article that extra 'oomph' it needs to stand out.
It could be the difference between an A or a B for your dissertation. It can be what makes your business look professional—or incompetent! It is what gives your book a higher star rating in a review, your website a cleaner look, your written work a superior touch. And finally, it can help assure Mother that she’s not on today’s menu!
