Why is proofreading so important?

 What you write is often your only chance to make a great impression, and great impressions are good for business! 

A stickler for good English, I'm driven by a keen desire to help others and "make things right." During my 14-year service career, I edited countless business communications. As a "Go-To Proofreader," I edit blogs, websites, business documents, and books, investing quality time and care in my work, with a 100% success rating. My top priority: clear communication and your success!

Testimonials


"I'm a professional copywriter who hired Valerie to edit a five-page website. The best part of outsourcing the proofreading to Valerie 

was that it allowed me to focus on what I do best as a copywriter. 

So, instead of getting distracted by commas, I could focus 100% on

 the essence of my message. Plus, I looked good in front of my client when I could tell her the final copy would be edited by a professional. Looking for a proofreader who is competent, dependable, and does excellent work? You found her!"

Alison D., Website Copywriter/Designer

   

"As a former manager of a large public relations firm in Detroit, 

I know how imperative it is to send out the "correct message."

We had editing teams to ensure this. In my current business 

world, proofreading websites, and marketing materials is 

also imperative.

I have had the pleasure of working with Valerie on an  

important project of mine for the past year. Although my project 

had local impact, it also had national impact as part of a 

larger grant project. I introduced Valerie to my collaborator

at the local level. She did such a great job that they chose to 

utilize her proofreading services on the national level! 

Great job Valerie! I would hire Valerie again without  hesitation."

Mindy N., President, Conquer Chaos, Inc.

Vice President, Woman's Club of Ft Lauderdale


"What a blessing to discover the skill sets of Valerie Kooyker. I learned 

of her professional status in the world of being a Go-To-Proofreader 

from a mutual friend. Oh wow, what a relief to hand over to her my manuscript, soon to send off for publication on Amazon. She pointed 

out so many inconsistencies, misspellings, poor grammar, and punctuation. This will save me time and money with my formatter. 

I HIGHLY recommend Valerie! She responds quickly and professionally. She will help you proofread any type of document. Add Valerie to 

your team of Go-To professionals."

Dianne C., Author, The Called Home Novella

    

  "Valerie is a wonderful copyeditor and proofreader. Every time I write 

a blog post, I send it to her first. Writing is all about the details and 

she can spot a missing comma a mile away.   

She identifies the core of what I'd like to say and whips it into 

something clear and concise. Furthermore, she's a pleasure to work 

with. I highly recommend her!"

Shelley C., Shelley Skin Care



"I highly recommend Valerie. She provided stellar proofreading edits (consistency in hyphenation, punctuation, abbreviations, etc.). If 

there are still inconsistencies in the brochures, it is me neglecting 

to catch the many edits she provided."

Killian O., Writer, National Votes For Women Trail 



"Valerie has an eagle eye for English usage (catching my inevitable careless errors), and a keen editorial sense for clear communication, focus, and organization. In addition, she is a patient, supportive 

colleague, a real gem!"  
Susan H., Ph.D., Writer/Songwriter, DrSueEntertainment 



"Thank you, Valerie! This is always so helpful for us to make 

sure that anything  we send out is professional and free of 

mistakes!"

Carmen H., Coordinator, Keep North Charleston Beautiful
