Clare Sandford Academic Proofreading


A personal and professional proofreading service that goes beyond online AI tools

I am a skilled proofreader with 20 years' experience of proofreading academic papers, books and dissertations and I pick up on details that might not be found by AI proofreading software. As well as checking for grammatical mistakes and typographical errors, I also look at the overall coherence of the writing and identify issues such as repetition, ambiguity, and incorrect word usage. I am also happy to make suggestions for rewording / rephrasing sentences to improve the clarity of your piece. 

My services include:

  • A free trial (500 words of your text) so that you can see how I work and we can discuss any specific requirements
  • Proofreading and copy editing of books, dissertations, and journal articles 

  • Help with language / word usage

  • Assistance with job applications and covering letters

  • Cross checking of in-text citations and bibliographies - I will point out any omissions / discrepancies

  • Reference formatting

If you would like to try my service please get in touch by email with a (500 word) sample of your writing. I will then return the edited version to you together with a quote for the fee.
