Proofreading for up to 500 words of English or French text

A single stray comma, a clunky phrase or a repeated grammar slip can weaken even a well-written piece. Whether you are polishing a cover letter, a blog post, a business email or any other short piece, a second set of trained eyes helps your message come across clearly, in the correct language and tone.

This service covers correction and proofreading of English or French writing up to 500 words. You receive two files: one showing tracked changes so you can see exactly what was altered, and a clean final version ready for use. A brief note is also included, pointing out the most common mistakes found, so the feedback helps you improve rather than just fixing the text for you. One revision round is part of the order, allowing you to request adjustments before the job is marked complete.

To begin, send over your text, either pasted in directly or attached as a file, and state whether it is written in English or French. Mentioning your intended audience or tone, such as formal, casual or academic, is useful but not required, and it helps tailor the corrections to your needs. Finished files can be supplied as a Word document or shared through Google Docs, whichever suits you best. Corrections are carried out by proofreaders experienced in both languages, with an understanding of the typical pitfalls speakers of each encounter.

This order is a useful way to sample the standard of work on a brief piece of writing. For longer texts, continuous proofreading or larger editing projects, reach out to discuss a suitable arrangement.
