Professional proofreading, editing and document layout
Studio256 offers proofreading, editing, grammar checking and spelling correction for business documents, reports, proposals and personal manuscripts. Frank Bailey holds a degree in English from the University of the Witwatersrand and has over 20 years of experience in document editing and proofreading. We work to your deadline and budget, and you stay in the loop from first draft to final version.
What we offer
Proofreading — We check your final draft for typos, spelling errors, punctuation and consistency so it reads clearly and professionally. Ideal for reports, presentations, websites and marketing copy.
Editing — We improve structure, clarity and style: tightening sentences, fixing grammar, and making sure the tone fits your audience. We can do light copy-editing or deeper substantive editing.
Grammar and spelling — We correct grammar, spelling and punctuation and flag unclear or awkward phrasing. We can follow a style guide (e.g. UK/US English) or your own house style.
Desktop publishing and layout — Need DTP (desktop publishing) or print layout on a budget? We can typeset brochures, leaflets, reports and other documents for print or PDF, and advise on format and design.
Who we work with
We work with businesses, NGOs, academics and individuals across South Africa and internationally. Typical projects include annual reports, policy documents, training materials, website copy, blog posts, proposals and manuscripts. Based in Johannesburg, we handle documents by email and can turn around urgent jobs when needed.
