Serious Proofreading for Professional Reporting
Embedded Files
You have a document.
It needs proofreading.
Clean, sharp, no-nonsense proofreading.
From business communications to formal reports, educational publications and community documents, your material needs to be accurate, consistent and ready for its audience.
Clear communication, no distractions.
Hi. I’m Paula.
I provide professional proofreading services for organisations across Perth and throughout Australia.
I combine a strong command of grammar, syntax and style with experience producing financial reports and ASX announcements to provide expert proofreading of complex documents and formal material.
When deadlines are tight and multiple contributors are involved, even the most carefully prepared documents can include small errors that weaken the message or undermine your credibility. An experienced external proofreader brings a fresh, objective perspective, helping refine your content, eliminate distractions and protect your credibility with polished, professional documents.
Across all document types, I focus on clarity, accuracy and consistency. I check grammar, spelling and punctuation, ensure formatting and structure are consistent, confirm figures and references match, and flag any errors or inconsistencies for review. My role is to provide a final objective check so your document is ready to lodge, publish or distribute with confidence.
I provide proofreading support across a wide range of professional and community documents, including:
Annual Reports
I review both the ASX submission and the final print version so you can lodge and print with confidence. I can also streamline production by preparing a clean, accurate template based on last year’s structure, which supports a smoother drafting and finalisation process.
ASX Announcements
I ensure your announcements say exactly what you intend while respecting confidentiality and market sensitivities. This includes reviewing clarity, structure and overall message to support accurate market communication.
External Communications and Tenders
I make sure your external submissions are clear, consistent and appropriate for their audience. This includes ensuring alignment with any submission requirements or guidelines so you can submit confidently.
Policies and Governance Documents
I review procedures, guidelines, internal frameworks and compliance documents to ensure clarity, consistency and alignment with organisational standards.
Websites
I ensure your website reads well and functions as it should, reviewing content flow across pages and confirming all links, menus and navigation elements are working correctly.
Internal Documents and Communications
I review internal content for clarity, consistency and readiness for internal review or circulation, always working with respect for confidentiality and internal approval processes.
School Publications
I ensure school publications are clear, consistent and professionally presented. This includes checking accuracy, structure and readability across newsletters, magazines, yearbooks, strategic plans and policy documents, while respecting the writer’s intended tone.
Council and Community Materials
I review council and community documents to ensure they communicate clearly and confidently with the public. This includes reports, community updates, public statements and environmental or cultural publications where accuracy and accessibility are essential.
Magazines and Feature Articles
I edit profiles, interviews, human-interest pieces and feature articles to ensure they read smoothly, maintain the intended voice and present information in a balanced, engaging way.
