“The Blue Pencil” is my blog.

Here you will find articles and tips about proofreading, as well as commentary on related matters. I may, however, occasionally stray beyond this remit.

My aim is to be informative and help writers and others understand more about what proofreading involves and when they need the services of a proofreader.
