Proof-reading samples

Proof-reading is ofen over-looked and under-valued. That's unfortunate, because a single error can undo a lot of the time and money spent on a stellar design or elegant copy. When it's done right, good proofing is invisible; the reader sees only clean, clear consistent copy. When it's done wrong, bad proofing stands out like a drunk heckling musicians at the symphony.

Links to outside sites or pdf documents open in new windows.

  • In 2005 I did the pre-press proofing for BuilderNews Magazine, a regional trade publication for the construction industry.
  • I regularly proof Focus Forward, the client newsletter of Tim Rosa Associates. I've also proofed a number of documents for TRA clients. NDAs prevent me from linking to these.
  • As associate editor, I did the pre-press proofing for Western Winds, a consumer newsletter for Western Mountaineering, an outdoor retailer and manufacturer.
