January 2026 – A belated ‘Happy New Year!’ to all

/ Proof-Ed.

We are well into January now but I wanted to post a message to wish all of my customers – old, new, past, present (and, fingers crossed, future!) – a belated Happy New Year for 2026. I have enjoyed spending the dark and gloomy days and nights of December and January reading for a returning customer who is preparing to submit a PhD thesis which has been the recipient of much time, thought, and intense effort. It has been a pleasure to work so closely with this customer, whose research is in the field of Crafts, and I will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for success.

In the coming days and weeks, I will be continuing my work on several articles for an apocalypticism- and millenarianism-themed online encyclopedia. The articles are always interesting and engaging (and often unexpected!) and it is great to be working on something which is aimed at anyone who is interested in the subject, even if they are new to it. You can check out the articles here: https://www.cdamm.org/

If you have something you would like me to read, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I have good availability into 2026, competitive rates, and a flexible approach to working alongside my customers according to whatever their needs are.

I hope to hear from you!

/ Proof-Ed.

Hi folks! It has been such a long time without a post from me on Proof-Ed.com and I realised that there is no time like the present! I am alive, kicking, and still editing, so if you are looking for a reader, please do consider getting in touch. I am currently going over the website so that everything is up to date but, as always, if you have queries about my work or availability, please do not hesitate to send me an email to sarah[@]proof-ed.com and I’ll get back to you quickly.

As we are now beginning the start of a new academic year, I have plenty of availability for editing, indexing, and proofreading – but this might not last, so do get in touch as soon as you can to avoid any disappointment! In the last few years the vast majority of the work I have undertaken has been for students and researchers who have English as a second language (though this is by no means a requirement of my clients!). My approach is to edit using tracked changes and comments/questions/suggestions in the side bar. I do not use complex terminology or editing symbolism; my changes are intended to be easy to understand and implement. My clients come from all over the world. In recent years I have worked for post-graduates and academics from Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Norway, China, and, of course, the United Kingdom.
In the last couple of years I have also taken on editing for long-term projects, such as an online encyclopedia which is updated monthly. I am also interested in proofreading for businesses who are promoting themselves via brochures and newsletters (or similar). This work generally takes a short amount of time and if you are looking for someone who can read this kind of material quickly, it is always worth making an enquiry about my availability.

Don’t be shy! Get in touch!

Kind regards,

Sarah
