Proofreading is the most straightforward aspect of editing.

It’s all about finding errors, both big and small, that were either missed or 

introduced during the editing process. Even though it’s a less extensive task, it’s 

still an important step in preparing a piece of creative work to be read by others.

 

By the time a manuscript is ready to be proofread, we're working with the final draft. 

This means that the content within should already be well-written and easy to follow. 

Line, copy, and developmental editing also involve removing errors, but they focus 

more on making sure the story makes sense as a whole.

 What I look for while proofreading:

​Typographical errors

Minor spelling and punctuation mistakes

Page number and layout problems

 

​

Proofreading will begin once all other editing has been completed. 

This is the last task I'll complete before it's ready for your review.
