Got proofreading?

In your hurry-up work world, are you letting “non-essential” copy (or any copy, for that matter) go to publication offline or on without first being proofread?

Please tell me your answer is no. And the spellcheck function on Word is not proofreading.

Here are some of the most common errors proofreading will help you avoid:

• Typos
• Misplaced modifiers
• Missing words
• Duplicate words
• Transpositions
• Run-on sentences
• Fragments
• Incorrect use of plural and possessive “s”

Protect your organization’s reputation, brand and credibility by having every piece of copy in your organization proofread before being printed, sent, mailed, emailed or posted online.
