My latest completed proofreading project was one for Pen & Sword Books, this one entitled ‘How to deal with your Self-Destruct Button’. Something very different from my usual subject matter, this manuscript was one about improving your mental health through things such as meditation, making sure your head and heart are in alignment, and controlled […]
A new railway proofreading project that I recently completed was edition 52 of ‘Southern Way’, this being the latest edition of the quarterly bookazine for followers of the Southern Railway, the pre-Grouping companies that made up the SR, and the post-1948 system. This was for Crecy Publishing.
Today I completed a new proofreading project for Pen & Sword Books, this one a large manuscript about the life and times of the Dennis Trident double-decker bus, a familiar sight on the streets of London during the two decades since 1999.

Earlier today I completed my latest proofreading project for Pen & Sword Books, this being an in-depth look at the steam locomotives built and employed on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the first ‘inter-city’ railway to be built anywhere in the world. Many people will be familiar with ‘Rocket’ and its triumph at the 1829 […]

I have recently gained a new customer who has made use of my proofreading services. This is Transport Treasury (TT) at High Wycombe.

A further completed railway proofreading project has just left my desk bound for Pen & Sword Books. This one draws on the collective memories of eight men who lived in and around the Barnsley and surrounding area of Yorkshire.
