Proofreading
SCRIBEMIND LEARNING & LITERARY SERVICES
My name is Paula Lucas and I look forward to making your words the best they can be!
I’ve had a long career working in law and community organizations. I have decades of experience poring over detailed legal documents, event guides, annual reports, and more—and it’s why my colleagues, friends, and family constantly send me their work for a “second set of eyes.”
When I see typos or errors on professional documents or pages, it suggests to me a lack of care or attention. But I know firsthand that time is money, and hard-working small business owners, students, or non-profit directors need to focus their attention on the Big Picture moves for their organizations and not get bogged down with the nitty-gritty details. That’s what eagle-eyed proofreaders like me are for! I’m here to help you put your best foot forward on and off the page.
How the process works
📋 When you get in touch, I’ll gather all of the important details about your project, including:
Deadline: when you need your proofed work returned to you;
Format of edits: if you’d like me to “track changes,” mark with a red pen, or just make changes directly in the text;
Your goals: if you’re shooting for a dream job or hosting a fundraiser, this context helps me make your work the absolute best it can be!
📨 You’ll send me over the work you need me to review.
✨ I’ll put the work into an editable document so that I can work my magic!
✅ You’ll receive your clean, proofed document back by the deadline we specify.
