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
A text written for one market reads slightly foreign in the other: "color" and "colour" are only the start, there is also "apartment" and "flat", date order, quotation marks and the way collective nouns take verbs. We convert your text from US to UK English or back, change spelling, vocabulary and punctuation conventions consistently and proofread it at the same time. Brand names, quotes and legal terms you mark stay as they are.
What is included
- What you getYour text in the target variant of English with errors fixed and a list of changes grouped by type (spelling, vocabulary, punctuation, dates), on the order page and as a Word (.docx) file.
- Spellingcolour, organise, travelled and the rest
- Vocabularyflat, holiday, postcode and similar
- Punctuation and datesQuote marks, Oxford comma, date order
- Proofreading includedTypos and grammar fixed too

Questions and answers
Will you change prices and measurements?
We do not convert currencies or units on our own. We can flag them, and convert units if you ask in the brief.
Do you also handle Australian or Canadian English?
Yes, tell us the target variant in the brief and we follow its usual spelling.
Will quotes from other people be changed?
No, direct quotes keep their original spelling unless you ask otherwise.
