Rooted and Grown Out of a Passion for Accuracy

Mildred Tripp Bible Proofreading

The idea of a dedicated business for Bible proofreading began in the 1960s, when Mildred Tripp gained a clientele of Bible publishers seeking her services with a unique method of proofreading she developed for Oxford University Press. The concept was purchased from Mildred and Frederick Tripp by Doug and June Gunden, who formed Peachtree Editorial Services in 1989. With the same passion for Bible accuracy, the Gundens refined the method to the renowned systematic team approach that is the hallmark of the Peachtree business today. Peachtree has worked with every major Bible publisher and Bible typesetter and on every major translation of the Bible.

A Reliable Process

The systematic team method used by Peachtree has been honed over the course of hundreds of Bible projects and decades of experience. We work with all those involved in the complex process of Bible development—editors, typesetters, copyright holders, translators, designers, scholars, and authors of study and devotional material within specialty Biblesto help ensure success and accuracy for each project.
