Knowadays Success Stories

"I love having access to interesting, portable work. Freelance proofreading for Proofed has given me the confidence to retire, knowing that I will have another source of income."

"A lot of the time I’m in too much pain to be able to do a very physical or social job. Now I can work from home, sat in a comfy chair and close to snacks."

"I haven’t been self-employed before. But I now have more control over the hours and days I work and the amount of work I do. That, in my opinion, is the best way to work."

"It’s exciting to find myself actually working as a proofreader and to have opportunities that I didn’t even know existed before."

"This course has shown me what I want to do for the rest of my life. I want to be a full-time proofreader. I now have a career path and a plan I can follow!"

"This is my first time being self-employed. I work from home (where I have a big desk and a nice view) or at my local library when I need a change of scene."

"I have never been self-employed before, and I love it. The freedom, the flexibility, working from home around my baby: it’s all very convenient and almost doesn’t feel like ‘work’."

"If you're passionate about words, take this course. You can’t put a price on something that provides you the freedom to choose your own path."

"Being able to work from home has been a massive bonus. This would be great even in normal times, but it has been especially helpful during the uncertainty of 2020!"

"One of my favourite things about freelance proofreading is being able to work from home in my pyjamas! How many other jobs let you do that?"

"I’ve not been self-employed before, but I’m quite liking it. I like getting to choose what I will work on and being able to change gears when I want to."

"I still work as an osteopath, but I have the option to proofread whenever I have a free day or half day. It’s a very flexible system in which you are in control of your own availability."
