Your reputation is on the line
Before you print, publish, or send – proof it first. Spell-checkers catch spelling, but they don't catch the wrong word in the right place, inconsistent formatting, or the error that ends up on the cover of your annual report.
I'm Lynden Howells, based in Hobart, Tasmania. I've worked full-time in proofreading and publishing for over 45 years – with clients ranging from government departments and universities to advertising agencies and healthcare companies across eastern Australia and internationally.
My clients include The Federal Group Tasmania, the University of Tasmania, Clemenger Tasmania, Hobart College, and the Department of Health and Human Services. The work spans annual reports, scientific journals, tender documents, legal contracts, brochures, and healthcare prescribing information.
Every job is handled personally by me – no AI tools, no voice-to-text software, no subcontractors. Just 45 years of trained human judgement applied to your document.
"Bring me into the mix, so I can supply the proof."
– Lynden Howells
What I do

A trained eye for spelling, grammar, punctuation, consistency, and word usage – catching what spellcheck simply cannot.
