February 10, 2006, Newsletter Issue #3: What to Expect When You Hire a Freelance Proofreader

Tip of the Week

The basic expectation when you hire a freelance proofreader is that he or she will have corrected any spelling and grammatical errors in your text. You may also arrange to have your proofreader make the actual changes (which is easier if the copy is online or on disk). If you decide to do this it is a good idea to have him or her also send the corrections to you so you can see what has been changed.

A very good proofreader may act as editor as well, reworking sentences to improve their content and flow. However, this is not a typical part of their job, so if you do not wish your proofreader to do this, you will need to express that.
