Proofreading Services in Michigan
Welcome to your second set of eyes to improve the quality of your message whether for a book, thesis documentation, marketing materials, website content and more.






Meet Me! Kathleen Bolio
My 30+ years of experience can provide just the help you need to change the idea in your head into the finished project you are looking to produce. Even if you have used some of the electronic proofing programs currently available there is a limit to what they can actually provide. Utilizing a professional proofreading service is the best way to present the project you have always envisioned. Finding the right person to help with your vision will make the project much easier than you ever imagined.
Throughout my 30+ years experience, the majority of it spent in Macomb County, Michigan, I have worked on newstories, developed website copy, created newsletters, and formatted books, created presentations and other marketing materials, newsletters and more. I have worked with large companies like Procter and Gamble, Western Union, and Marion Merrell Dow, but I prefer providing editing services with private authors, students, and small businesses.
The services you need to make your idea a reality are:
Proofreading
Proofreading
Provides sentence-level checks that help your writing sound natural and polished. Proofreaders read the document, find the errors, mark the errors, and return the document. Proofreaders find and correct the following: typos, double words (“the the,” “and and,” etc.), grammatical errors, punctuation errors, misspelled words, formatting issues
Professional Copyediting
Reviews documents for grammar, punctuation, spelling, fact-checking, double-checking the table of contents, footnotes, bibliography, etc. (if applicable), double-checking consistency of actions, fixing echo words (when the author uses the same word repeatedly), accuracy of timeline, checking for correct sequence of chapter and page numbers
Final Proofing Abilities
The final pair of eyes looking at a project rather than the first or even second pair. By the time you get the project, it should have had all the content rewritten and ready to go. You are the one who double-checks to make sure no embarrassing grammatical and spelling errors slip through
