A total of 26 chapters, plus appendices, glossary, index, and practical exercises make this a very useful 'pocket' book, just right for anyone considering freelance proofreading. You can learn all about copy-editing too. (Copy-edited by William Critchley and Michèle Clarke, CIEP advanced member.)

Learn how to earn around £26 per hour with this new book and course. Right up to date for 2021. (You can follow all the latest news at LearnFreelancing.com)
Chart your way to success, improve your skills and find work in many areas: proofreading and copy-editing for book publishers, corporate websites, magazine features, theses, blogs, leaflets and more. William's experience in publishing covers many years, and he has proofread and edited hundreds of titles for well-known book publishers.
ALL ASPECTS OF PROOFREADING fully covered, also editing online using Word's 'Track Changes', and full descriptions and examples of proofreading marks in current use. There's no need to spend huge sums on heavily-promoted courses that are not always what they seem. This book is literally a course in itself - and it doesn't cost the earth. Want to brush up your grammar too? Commas, apostrophes, and full stops all explained!
The Pocket Book of Proofreading is just right. It offers so much more for much less. Learn THE SECRETS of SUCCESSFUL PROOFREADING and freelancing for publishers, and how to earn extra income from home.
The optional instant file download (PDF) is a professional three-part proofreading and copy-editing course with free extra exercises. Uses BS 5261C:2005 (marks for copy preparation and proof correction).
The Pocket Book of Proofreading offers a comprehensive overview of freelancing for publishers and working as a freelance proofreader.
NOTE: If this book were simply turned into A4 pages and made into a proofreading and editing course (which in fact it actually was originally), it would make a course that could be sold at the same price as existing proofreading courses on the market, starting from about £200. Hence the value of this popular book.
The Pocket Book of Proofreading contains 262 pages and is complete as it is. You don't really need anything more. If you are keen to learn more, however, the book tells you how to access a new downloadable proofreading and copy-editing course with FREE extra exercises (approximately 170 A4 pages, making a total of 432 pages!) at a great price. It's all you need.
Learn Freelancing offers a professional and comprehensive proofreading course, and you can learn about copy-editing too.
Many people have been successful as a result of taking this Proofreading and Editing Course, and have found regular work as freelances, working from home full or part time, or are now working in-house for publishing companies.
There is competition naturally, so you need the best possible start. You'll find this with The Pocket Book of Proofreading.
NOTE: the book was proofread and copy-edited by a distinguished, advanced member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP), so you can sure of the quality and relevance of this material. The SfEP has now been renamed as The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Brit Books, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
Condiciones de envío
