Proofreading services in Kent, London, the UK, all over

How big a deal is location when hiring a freelance proofreader? Well, it rather depends on your needs. Some clients like to meet and discuss copy face to face, and this can be useful in determining whether the material would benefit best from proofreading or copy-editing. But many of my clients prefer to work with me remotely.

I provide proofreading services in Kent, where I'm based, and some of my more local clients like to meet and discuss projects with a Kent proofreader.

I also provide London proofreading services, and some clients like the fact that I can travel to meet them in London, but usually after the initial meeting the project continues over email and the phone.

But the beauty of a freelance proofreader is that geography isn't limiting, meaning I can offer UK proofreading services across the country, working remotely with clients. Many of my clients are scattered far and wide, and yes, some as far off as Sweden. As long as the internet connection is up and running, I'm a proofreader on any client's doorstep.

Of course, the flip side of this for me is that one day I will settle in a cottage away from it all, and proofread happily in the countryside.
