Hi, I'm Kelly Caine
I'm a professional proofreader and the owner of Kemend, based in Cambridgeshire, UK.
I work with fiction and non-fiction authors, from early feedback to final checks.
Whether you need a one-off project or ongoing support, I tailor my services to your needs. I provide careful, considered edits and clear, ongoing communication, at the level of support that works for you.
My goal is simple: To ensure your writing is seen and read exactly as you intended.
I am extremely grateful for Kelly’s proofreading of the opening of my novel. She gave it extra care, especially considering it was written in my second language. She adapted my work into British English and provided alternative wording within British vocabulary for me to choose from. She also examined specific terms and phrases carefully to ensure consistency throughout the manuscript.
She identified the internal dialogue and ensured that, even without speech marks, it remained clear and easy to follow. Her work was precise, thoughtful, and highly detailed. I felt completely safe knowing that my manuscript was in her hands.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for professionalism in literary writing.
