I am Canadian. As a Canadian I am in a position to be uniquely aware of the differences between US and UK English. I can proofread your book so you can be absolutely certain that it meets the expectations of your US readers. It is more than just changing S's to Z's, as there are idioms and word order differences as well. Canada is exposed to both. I have more than 25 years experience. I am a professional copy writer and editor. I work quickly and efficiently. Please, see my reviews.

I am an experience proofreader, who would love to help you with your project. My strategy would be to read through the book and highlight any changes that I felt needed to be made, which we could then discuss before I went away and finalised them, ensuring that none of your intended meaning gets lost during the course of my edit. I would also recommend any stylistic choices or discrepancies in meaning or message that I felt the book had. I feel well qualified for this project as a native speaker, with nothing other than five -star reviews on this website, before doing this I studied philosophy and worked in British politics. I would be delighted to provide samples of my writing/editing and discuss the project further with you, on the messenger. I hope to hear from you.

Qualified proofreader. Member of SfEP. I have proofread several books for publishers, receiving praise for my thoroughness and eye for detail. I pride myself on doing a good job, adding value and delivering within tight timescales. My work is more akin to a proof-edit than just proofreading and I will provide, if needed, a style sheet for your project. Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss my services further.
