Press Release Proofreading Coverage & Process
The page structure follows a clear service journey: what is checked, how the proofreading pass progresses, and the standards applied before the final release copy is returned.
What We Proofread
Core press release components that commonly need a final language and presentation check.
Headline & Subheadline
Check grammar, punctuation, capitalization, wording consistency, and obvious readability issues in the release title and supporting line.
Body Copy
Proofread the announcement for spelling, punctuation, grammar, typos, repeated words, and light sentence-level clarity issues.
Dateline & Opening
Review the dateline, opening sentence, location wording, and introductory details for internal consistency and presentation.
Executive Quotes
Check quote punctuation, speaker attribution, names, titles, and obvious wording issues without changing the intended message.
Names, Titles & Terms
Flag inconsistencies in company names, product names, job titles, capitalization, abbreviations, and recurring terminology.
Boilerplate
Proofread the standard company description so recurring wording, capitalization, punctuation, and brand terms remain consistent.
Media Contact Details
Check visible spelling, punctuation, labels, phone/email presentation, and repeated contact information for consistency.
Final Presentation
Review headings, spacing, bullets, labels, emphasis, and other visible formatting for a clean final-stage handoff.
Proofreading is a final-stage service. If the release still needs message development, major restructuring, positioning changes, or new content, a deeper editing or writing scope should be agreed separately.
