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 clients across the UK and internationally, editing in all forms of English, including British, American, Canadian, and Australian English.
My clients range from independent authors and content creators to publishing houses and small businesses. Whether it's an article, blog, website, or full manuscript, I tailor my service to suit your project's needs – respecting your schedule, your style guide (if you have one), and above all, your voice.
To support your workflow, I edit using Microsoft Word (with Track Changes), PDFs (utilising commenting tools), or Google Docs – whichever format suits you best. You'll receive clear suggestions, any necessary queries flagged, and full control over what to keep or change.
My aim is to support your writing without changing what makes it your own.
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!
