Proofreading is a final read through of a manuscript or document before it is published. It focuses on typos, missing or incorrect words, punctuation, spelling, and formatting.
Proofreading is a final check to remove minor errors that would detract from the professionalism of the text.
Past proofreading projects have included: nonfiction manuscripts, fiction manuscripts, and legal documents.
