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
In a manual, the reader follows every word literally, so a button called "Save" in step 3 and "Apply" in step 5 causes real confusion. We proofread user guides, installation instructions and help articles for spelling, grammar and punctuation, and keep UI labels, part names, warnings and step numbering consistent. Code snippets, commands and file paths are left exactly as you wrote them.
What is included
- What you getCorrected documentation with a list of changes; from Standard also a list of the terms and UI labels as used in the text. On the order page and as a Word (.docx) file.
- Consistent UI labelsOne name for each button and menu
- Step numberingNo gaps or repeats
- Warnings and notesSame wording style throughout
- Code left untouchedCommands and paths kept as written
- Terms listFrom Standard: terms as used

Questions and answers
Will you check that the steps actually work?
No, we cannot run your product. We flag steps that contradict each other or refer to a missing item.
Do you change technical terms?
Only to make them consistent with your approved list or with the form you use most often.
Can you work with screenshots in the manual?
Text inside images is not read from a PDF. If labels in screenshots matter, attach the screenshots as pictures too.
