Welcome

Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading – Advanced Professional Member

Hi, I’m Louise, a proofreading specialist in adult and children’s fiction, non-fiction and travel literature. You’ve done all the hard work to conceptualise, write and rewrite your book. It has been edited, copy-edited and perhaps designed or illustrated. That’s where I come in, before or after typesetting as you require. You can rely on me to be the last person in the editing chain.

A natural and meticulous proofreader, I offer a professional service resulting in accuracy and consistency throughout. Your book will get that final attention to detail before your readers dive in. Whatever the subject or genre, your book will be in professional hands.

Please get in touch at loumcguinnessproofreader@gmail.com. I will be delighted to discuss an upcoming project with you.

“This is my first fictional book, and I’m a perfectionist. After an extensive search on the CIEP for someone to proofread Fusion of Reality, I chose Louise McGuinness. It was immediately clear that she knew her craft, communicated clearly about her process, and carried the quiet humility that only true experts possess. Louise delivered excellent work – resolving all proofing issues, being meticulous with style, and offering invaluable support when I had last-minute doubts about a few sentences. She also reviewed the final typesetting. In short – highly recommended.”

– Ketan Varia, author

“Louise is a consistent and reliable proofreader with a keen eye for detail and a proven track record of preparing manuscripts well according to house style.”
