Here's what our customers are saying...
“I am one of those many fools who paid a huge amount of money for a useless proofreading course. This book has opened so many doors for me. I now look on Mike as my mentor as I embark on a career. Thank you Mike.” Emma Steel, Proofreader and International Structural Editor.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the proofreading course and am so glad that I decided to take it... the whole experience was invaluable. My... proofreading service is now well established and your course played no small part in getting it off the ground.” Hache L. Jones, Proofreader.
“I'd just like to thank you first of all for writing such a great, straight forward guide, and then going above and beyond what I would even expect as a customer by providing us, completely free of charge, updated versions months later!” Rachel Gee, Trainee Proofreader.
“What can I say? Worth every penny and then some! God Bless! This a fabulous proofreading course.” Teresa Richardson, Proofreader.
“As someone who has effectively been proofreading for thirty years, I found Mike’s No-Nonsense Proofreading Course an invaluable introduction and a very useful practical guide to many aspects of this discipline. I can wholeheartedly recommend it as the ideal starting point, and much more besides.” Jeremy Meehan, Proofreader.

The information is great, as it outlines in detail what you need to know to start performing this type of work. It describes how to build your own business. It covers every aspect of the proofreading process. The price is great, a real bargain for all the information that you receive.

Does what it says on the cover, no-nonsense! It was a quick and easy read with lots of helpful information. I've been thinking about becoming a proofreader for 6 years and this is by far the cheapest course out there that tells you everything you need to know!
I'm confident in my ability thanks to this course. I just started setting up my website last night. Excellent.

I am finding this course enjoyable and learning a lot from it. It also provides a great deal of supplementary material that I haven't had time to read yet.
Whether this will all translate into paid work at a later date I don't know, but I certainly feel more confident now saying that I can proofread.

Why I Created an Affordable Proofreading Course
|
How it all began...
A friend of mine, knowing that I was an Operations Manager in the publishing department of a large online retailer, revealed, over coffee, that his brother had just completed a proofreading course and was on the lookout for freelance opportunities. “Proofreading course?” I said. I’d honestly never heard of such a thing. In the 12 years I’d been in the employ of this particular organisation, I’d worked with at least a couple of dozen proofreaders; I’d interviewed and hired several proofreaders, both permanent and freelance; I’d been responsible for the training and personal development of a number of proofreaders. And not one of them had possessed any formal proofreading qualification or boasted membership of any official proofreading order. Nor had any of them attended a proofreading course of any description. I myself had signed my name to countless proofs and had never attended so much as a seminar. “Which proofreading course is that?” “Oh, you know, the official one,” my friend replied. Official? It appeared there was so much I didn’t know about proofreading, despite having worked with proofreaders for more than a decade and having applied my own steady eye, keen judgement and red pen on literally hundreds of occasions. “Well, I hope it was the official one,” my friend continued. “It wasn't cheap.” "How much?" I asked. He told me. I tried to conceal my dismay. My friend sagged a little, sighed. “It was a scam, wasn’t it?” I shrugged. “Well, not so much a scam as just unnecessary.” |
The proofreading course revealed...
A week or so later, over a couple of beers, my friend showed me this ‘official’ proofreading course. It consisted of a couple of manuals, boasting about three hundred pages in total. I hefted the spiral-bound volumes in one hand. “Well,” I said, “if he was paying by the pound, he got pretty good value for money.” I opened the first volume and flipped through it. “If he was paying for content, however...” “Scam?” suggested my friend. “Not entirely. I mean, there’s definitely some useful stuff in here. But there’s also an awful lot of padding. An awful lot of padding.” “What do you mean ‘padding’?” he asked. “Most of it’s exercises,” I replied. “Look. Pages and pages of text taken from a few old novels with a some deliberate mistakes thrown in. And look at this. Around forty pages about grammar, spelling and punctuation.” “But doesn’t a proofreader need to be pretty hot on those things?” “Of course. But if you’re a bit ropy when it comes to the basics of effective written English, you need to sort that out before you even consider becoming a proofreader. And then you’d be much better off making full use of the plethora of free grammar instruction available online.” “Are you going to tell him, or shall I?” “He’s your brother.” “I wonder, sometimes.” |
The challenge...
“Without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I could put together a proofreading guide a fraction of the size of this monster, and at a fraction of the cost.” “Why don’t you, then?” “Well, it’s just that... erm, well...” “My brother would buy one. That’s your first sale, right there.” “It’s just I’ve got quite a lot on at the moment, and... erm...” “Come on. Put your money where your mouth is.” That sounded like a challenge, and I’ve always quite liked a challenge. So, here we are. The No-Nonsense Proofreading Course, a downloadable guide, full of nothing-but-useful information, that will set you back a mere $48.99.

I'm loving this proofreading course. It is to the point and it truly delivers great value. I have been transcribing, drafting, editing and proofreading Governance Documents for the US Law Firm I work at in-house since 2013 and confirm it took my proofreading skills to the next level. Thank you!

A big thank you for your proofreading course. I have learned a great deal the last week going through it.
