Professional Freelance proofreading, translation and editorial services offered by Nick Nott Editorial Services at www.nicknott.co.uk. Do you need a proofreader for your dissertation before you hand it in? Do you think your text needs a final check before you publish it? Are you sure that there are no spelling mistakes on your website that might turn potential customers away? More often than not, your text, just like anybody else's, could benefit from having a second pair of eyes looking over it to check it. And it's not just the spelling that needs checking. Are all of the facts correct? Have you repeated yourself unnecessarily? Are any sentences ambiguous or stylistically inconsistent with the rest of the text? What you need is a professional copy editor and proofreader - somebody who instinctively knows how to tweak a piece of text to give the right impression, to correct problems and ultimately to give you a guarantee of high linguistic quality. Nick Nott is freelance editor and translator, specialising in translating from French and Italian into English, and proofreading and editing web copy, academic papers, novels and marketing material. As a freelance editor, Nick Nott has many years of experience copy-editing and proofreading academic and fictional literature and marketing material. Both the proofreading and editing are carried out according to the British English editing and proofreading standard unless the American English proofreading and editing standard is preferred. Website copy editing and proofreading are expedient services that can tranform a mediocre sales tool into an extremely profitable frontispiece for any company. Web content editing and proofreading require a keen editorial eye, dedicated attention to grammatical, stylistic and contextual detail, and an ability to render any text in the most clear, concise, persuasive and accurate way.
