Academic proofreader, and fiction and non-fiction proofreader and editor
Can I help you?
You’​ve spent hours, days, months or years writing (and self-editing) your book, thesis, business article or blog post. I offer proofreading and proof-editing services that will help you get your manuscript ready for submission or publication.
Who am I?
I’​m Victoria, a proofreader, editor and beta reader based in Plymouth (UK). I’m a registered sole trader, operating as Seymour Proofreading. I help independent authors, academics, writers and businesses.

Want to get in touch?
Is your final draft ready? (Or almost ready?) If you’​d like to book a slot in my schedule, contact me today.
What’​s included in my proofreading, proof-editing and beta reading services?
The table on my services, fees and FAQs page details what’​s included in my proofreading and proof-editing services. My beta reading service is detailed on my early manuscript reviews page.
Writing and editing resources
Which level of editing do you need? What is a style sheet? How do you edit your own writing? You can find the answers to these questions (and more) on my resources page.
I can now confidently start writing my next book ...

“Writing your first book is not an easy task, especially when English is not your first language. I’​ve worked on mine for almost two years, [...] I tried to edit it on my own and I still wasn’​t happy about it. Then I found Tori online and she’​s done it within 2 weeks, but in such a way that all I had to do was to approve the awesome suggestions she’​s made [...] I can now confidently start writing my next book knowing there is someone I can count on to do excellent work and save me precious time.”​
