Proofreading Tips and Techniques

Hello everyone!

We've been thinking about our fellow writers a lot lately with the whole issue of our literary contest. One of the main issues that arose was that of proofreading and editing of a text.

At Rosetta Press we offer professional proofreading and editing services at reasonable prices, but we know that even before you think of professional proofreading, you should always do some basic proofreading yourself. Following some basic proofreading tips, you can make sure many of the mistakes we generally encounter can be solved. If you spend just a few extra minutes checking your work you can improve your writing and with that make the most of your professional proofreading services.

Some simple things you can do to improve your writing are use the spell-check option in your word processor but don't depend on it, read your work aloud and let some time go by before you check it again. Make sure you track your changes with a different colour so you know where you did the changes.

We discovered the following article http://www.dailywritingtips.com/8-proofreading-tips-and-techniques/ about proofreading and editing and wanted to share it with you people.
We hope this entry was useful!
