Proofreading: annual report of a community garden association

Before and after (excerpt)

Before:

This year the garden welcomed 23 new members, and our waiting list have grown to 41 familys. Thanks to a council grant of £2,400 we replaced the old shed, it's roof had been leaking since 2023. Volunteers put in over 1.200 hours, a new record! The composting area was moved behind plot 14, which means the paths along plots 12-16 is now clear for wheelchairs. Special thanks goes to Margret Hale who organised the Spring Plant sale.

Consistency check across the whole report

  • Names: "Margaret Hale" (4 times), "Tom Okoye" (3), "Priya Shah" (2), all now spelled the same way everywhere
  • Organisation name: "Elm Street Community Garden" used in full the first time, then "the garden"; 3 cases of "Elm St. Garden" changed
  • Spelling: British throughout ("organised", "colour", "programme"); 7 American forms changed
  • Numbers: thousands with a comma, ranges with an en dash; amounts checked against the finance table on page 5, all match

Not changed (for you to decide)

  • Paragraph 6 says "nearly 50 volunteers"; the table on page 5 lists 46. Both can be correct, so we left the wording.
  • "Potluck" appears both with and without a hyphen in quotes from members; quotes were kept as written.

Total: 2,684 words checked, 57 corrections.

Client: Elm Street Community Garden, a volunteer-run association with 80 members Text: the 2,700-word annual report for members and the local council Brief: fix errors only, keep the friendly voice; use British spelling; plot numbers and amounts must stay exactly as given

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

Investors and clients notice a typo on a slide much faster than in a document, because there are so few words on each one. Export your deck to PDF and we proofread it slide by slide: headlines, bullet points, chart labels that come through as text and speaker notes if you paste them. We also check that the same figure, such as market size or revenue, reads the same on every slide.

What is included

  • What you getA slide-by-slide list of corrections (slide number, what is written, what it should be) and the corrected text of each slide, on the order page and as a Word (.docx) file, so you can fix your deck in minutes.
  • Slide by slideEach fix tied to its slide number
  • Headlines and bulletsSame style and capitalization
  • Figures cross-checkThe same number on every slide
  • Speaker notesProofread too if you paste them
  • Your design untouchedYou apply fixes in your own file

What we need from you

The deck exported to PDF (with text, not flattened images), any speaker notes pasted into the brief and the language variant.

We will ask you:

  • Who will see the deck?
  • Which figures must match across slides?
  • Do you write headlines in title case or sentence case?
  • Which language variant should we follow?

Payment protection

You pay when you order, but the money is released only for accepted work.

  • Fixed priceThe package price does not change after you pay.
  • The money is reservedWhen you pay, the amount is only reserved. It is released to the service once you accept the work.
  • Checked before deliveryEvery result goes through a quality check before it reaches you, and you see it on the order page before accepting it.
  • Free revisionsAsk for changes within your brief as many times as the package allows.
  • Acceptance after 3 daysIf within 3 days of delivery you neither accept the work nor ask for changes, it is accepted automatically. If you write in the order chat after delivery, the order waits; once we answer, we may start the 3 days again and will say so in the chat.
  • Redo or a full refundIf the result does not match your brief and the revisions did not fix it, or the work takes more than twice its deadline, write in the order chat: we will redo the work or refund the payment in full.

Questions and answers

Can I send the deck in its original format?

The form takes PDF, Word and Excel files. Export the deck to PDF first; Keynote, Google Slides and Canva can all do this.

Will you edit the slides for me?

No, we do not edit your design file. You get a list of fixes by slide number to apply yourself.

What if some text is part of an image?

Text inside images is not read from a PDF. Attach screenshots of those slides as pictures and we check them too.
