Freelancing in the Covid Years
I have no idea whether we are off the Covid hook. The virus is in retreat. But who knows? Variants may be growing in Tooting or Turkey. Freelance proofreading and copy-editing may be the insurance policy you need. Work from home, be your own boss, be flexible.

Booming Books
Books are published in even greater numbers. When we’re bored we either read, drink, or stare at a screen dreaming of Barbados.

A New Career?
Should we begin a new career? Accountants, lawyers, teachers, nurses and doctors ask this question. Should they stay put? Proofreading and editing careers may be attractive. I hope so!
Is proofreading or editing a good career? Should you learn to proofread or become a copy-editor? Why not browse our website and see what you think? Chapterhouse is a very traditional place. We like good grammar, accurate punctuation and style. We think editors and proofreaders should be good at error-spotting and pretty smart at judging an author.
Specialist Proofreading and Editing
Specialist book editing may be your goal. A retired nurse may find work in medical publishing. A disillusioned lawyer may find work in the law book world. An engineer may work on new textbooks. So read our website. If you want a traditional course we are the specialists with a thirty-year track record.
