Katie Froggatt |
I'm a freelance B2B and B2C proofreader, copywriter and copy-editor based in Hertfordshire. If you’re looking for words that are engaging, accurate and effective, I can help. I specialise in working with clients in the television industry - both in the UK and globally - but regularly work in other fields such as retail, motoring and exhibitions.
We’re all capable of spotting a red wiggly line under a typo or checking a spelling online. But there’s so much more to achieving accurate, easy-to-read, consistent text. If you’ve spent a lot of time on a project, chances are you’ll be a bit too familiar with it to spot any errors. And you’ve probably got more interesting, pressing or profitable things to do than worry about punctuation or check if that name was spelled the same three pages earlier. That’s why it’s so useful to have your text looked over by a fresh pair of eyes before it heads out the door.
Here’s a broad outline of what I will do if you hire me to look at your copy:
- Check for any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors
- Check that the text is consistent throughout (names, formatting, etc.)
- Make sure it adheres to any required house style or formatting
- Highlight all corrections in the way most convenient to you
- Work in the format that suits you, such as Word, PDF or Final Draft
My specialist areas of knowledge are television, business, marketing, public relations, retail and fashion – I am a business/marketing graduate from the London College of Fashion – but I am happy to consider projects from any industry. I'm also experienced in working with non-native English speakers on improving and optimising copy that's been translated into English. I can proofread on paper, on screen, against copy, using the BSI proofreading marks – whichever method suits your requirements.
