Seven stars, seven checksHover or tap a star to see what we look at in every project. The gold one is Merope, our namesake.

Two services, one standard of care

Whether it's a manuscript or a mountain of spreadsheets, we read every line and verify every entry.

Proofreading

A final, careful read before your work goes public.

  • Spelling, grammar and punctuation
  • Consistent style, capitalization and formatting
  • Typos, repeated words and missing words
  • Documents, reports, websites, theses and manuscripts

Data entry

Accurate input and tidy records you can trust.

  • Typing from scans, forms and handwritten notes
  • Spreadsheet and database entry
  • Double-checking entries against the source
  • Cleaning up duplicates and inconsistent formats

Why Merope?

Merope is the faintest of the Pleiades' seven bright stars, and in the old stories the one who hides her face. Good proofreading and clean data work the same way: when it's done right, nobody notices it. We want your readers and your records to notice only what you meant to say.

About me

I work in product support, where the job is to help people solve problems clearly and patiently. I bring that same care to proofreading and data entry: I read closely, check twice, and treat your work the way I would want mine treated.

Helping people comes naturally to me, and family comes first in my life. That shapes how I run Merope: reliable, honest about timelines, and respectful of both your time and your information.

    What I collect

    When you request a quote, you give me your name, email address, the service you need, project size, deadline, any notes, and any files you attach.

    How it is used

    Only to reply to your request, prepare a quote and carry out your project. I do not sell your information, use your files for marketing, or share them with anyone beyond the services needed to run this site.

    Who handles it

    This site is hosted by Cloudflare. The quote form is delivered by FormSubmit, an email-forwarding service, which sends your request and attachments to my email inbox. Payments are handled through Square's secure payment and invoicing services. These providers process your information to deliver it, under their own privacy terms. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, and FormSubmit's spam check (Google reCAPTCHA) runs when you send a request. The site has no advertising or analytics trackers.

    Confidentiality

    Your documents and data are treated as confidential. I am the only person who sees them.

    Keeping and deleting files

    I keep your files only as long as needed to finish your project. Within 30 days of delivering the completed work, I delete them from my devices and email, unless you ask me to keep them or to delete them sooner.

    Please do not send

    Passwords, full payment card numbers or government ID numbers through the form. If your project includes sensitive personal data, tell me first so we can agree on a safe way to share it.

    Other people's information

    If your files contain other people's personal information, please make sure you have the right to share it with me for your project.

    Your choices

    You can ask what information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it at any time by emailing meropeproof@gmail.com. If my practices change, I will update this page and its date.
