Effective proofreading is about polishing your documents to impress readers with pristine prose and design. Yet proofreading does not get enough attention as it's often rushed or avoided altogether. The Ultimate Guide to Proofreading is the first comprehensive Udemy course on the subject. First, I explain how to develop the right mindset to catch errors. I then show where most errors lurk. I examine the most common errors in words, punctuation, and design. I additionally provide unique techniques for making your proofreading work easier and more effective. These tips come from my 20+-year career in editing and proofreading jobs. I've edited thousands and thousands of written documents and I use these techniques every day. Enrol now to learn tested tips for getting those annoying errors out of your documents and the documents of clients and colleagues.
