Helping you deliver clear, consistent and polished content
What I do
At Brighter Day Proofreading, I help clients communicate clearly and with confidence, ensuring their words make an impact.
Whether you’re producing a business report, an e-learning programme or a members’ newsletter, your goal is to connect with your audience – and that’s where I come in.
Backed by years of editorial experience, I offer professional proofreading, copyediting and quality-control services to make sure your content is publication-ready and reflects your high standards. The result is copy your readers can trust.
I’ve worked with clients ranging from global brands to sole traders (including the National Trust, KPMG and leading consultancies) and specialise in business reporting, e-learning and marketing. Whatever the project, I bring care and precision to every word, helping your message resonate, engage and leave a lasting impression.
Who I work with
I support organisations and individuals across many sectors, helping them communicate with clarity, consistency and impact – even when projects are complex or deadlines tight.
My experience spans a range of fields, in particular ESG, sustainability and the public and heritage sectors. I especially enjoy collaborating with teams that put purpose at the heart of what they do.
The types of copy I work on include:
-
Consultancies – client deliverables, advisory and research reports
-
Businesses – corporate reports and marketing materials
-
Charities, non-profits and cultural organisations – impact reports, guides, marketing and educational content, newsletters
-
E-learning providers and educational platforms – online programmes and training materials
-
Lifestyle writers and bloggers – blog posts and social media
With a background in fast-paced industries, I’m comfortable producing high-quality work even under pressure, and I’m always keen to take on new challenges and bring my skills and experience to other sectors.
Whatever the task, I make sure your words are accurate, polished and ready for publication, so your content connects with your audience and reflects your high standards.

About Lamees
I’m Lamees, a proofreader and copyeditor based in Kingston upon Thames, with a love of language and a joy for making words shine.
After a dynamic career as a TV producer for the BBC and other leading production companies, I decided to channel my keen eye for detail into a new direction.
I trained with the Chartered Institute of Proofreading and Editing and, since then, I’ve taken great pleasure in helping a wide range of clients refine their communications.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me exploring galleries and museums, catching the latest film or enjoying a long walk in Richmond Park – one of my favourite places in the world.
