*UPDATE* Due to an immense workload and other commitments, I'm unable to accept any proofreading work for the time being.
About Us Black Velvet Proofreading Services is an independent, freelance proofreading service based in Redditch, UK. What Is Proofreading? Proofreading is the checking of written material for any errors before publication. A proofreader will check for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and presentation. We can proofread: CVs If you have anything you need proofreading, contact Black Velvet Proofreading Services.

Payment methods If you have any text to be proofread, whether it be short, or long, contact Black Velvet Proofreading Services. “Why Do I Need A Proofreader?” You Ask Careless spelling and grammatical mistakes can spoil your professional image. Too often work is sent for publishing without correct proofing. Spellcheckers for example may pick up spelling mistakes but they can miss incorrect usage. For example, the words their, there and they’re are often confused, as are its and it’s, who’s and whose, him and hymn. All are spelt correctly but each word is used in a different context. Often the author will make errors and they will not be noticed until it’s too late. We’re here to find them – before it’s too late. How To Get Your Text Proofread Contact us with details of the work to be proofread. Computer-based work can be sent as MS Word or text documents, pdfs or image files. If you have work that is NOT computer-based, email us for more details. Text can be corrected on paper or on screen as required, using longhand comments, the BS proofreading symbols or in a specific colour. We can adapt to suit your needs. Email: shari@shariblackvelvet.com or shari@blackvelvetmagazine.com Confidentiality We guarantee to treat everything you send us in the strictest confidence.
