Virtual proofreader



Proofreading, or in your case a virtual proofreader, does everything from correcting simple spelling and grammar mistakes to complicated structural errors in sentences.

Your job is to come up with improved written documents and to get them to a point where they are free from mistakes, clear, understandable and publishable.

Depending on your experience you can proofread work in general documents or more specialised categories such as medical, legal, finance, technology, etc.

As a proofreader you may find small businesses who wish you to proofread their reports through to publishing houses, and there are also companies out there that outsource such work to virtual home based proofreaders.
