About Kemend

Welcome to Kemend Proofreading Services.

I'm Kelly Caine, a professional proofreader and the owner of Kemend, based in Cambridgeshire, UK.

I work with authors, publishing houses, and businesses of all sizes. Whether it's a one-off project or ongoing support, I tailor my services to your project's needs. I will support your writing with careful, considered edits that will be aligned with any deadlines and style guide you use.

I edit using Microsoft Word, PDFs, or Google Docs.

Self-publishing authors will receive a proofreading report clearly explaining my edits, suggestions and queries. However, you have full control over what to keep or change.

I want your writing to go out into the world as you intended; that is my goal.

I had the pleasure of working with Kelly as my proofreader, and I highly recommend her. She returned chapters to me quickly, which helped me stay on track with my project. Kelly has a sharp eye, not only catching small mistakes like typos and grammar issues but also ensuring consistency in style, punctuation, and formatting throughout. She also flagged larger inconsistencies that I missed. Communication was smooth and prompt via email, and she was professional throughout. I'll definitely be using her services again in the future!
