It is one of the top videos about proofreading I have ever seen. How to master the grammar? It's so vast that I wonder if I made all the corrections. Thanks for the instructions.

Thank you for sharing!

This is wonderfully helpful. I seem to be happily able to put down ideas and stories and plots and string them all together nicely, however my punctuation is my weakness and your video helped me enormously in approaching the proof reading hurdle.

This is excellent, thank you!

Good tips. While I understand your point about proofing on paper, as somebody whose job requires checking my own and other people’s work to a high standard, I have found the ‘Read Aloud’ feature in Word and Outlook useful, especially while working from home, where it is not practical to print in large volumes. It is not a replacement for more traditional approaches to checking, but it is a useful add-on, particularly for highlighting sentences with words missed out or in which auto-correct has replaced a misspelled word with the wrong alternative.

Yes! I love this solution, too. In my course, I include it in tips for proofing when you can't really proof (i.e. on paper).

This is some good stuff, ma'am! I have a question, which style guide would you suggest a person read? I'm looking to do freelance proofreading and the one thing that's holding me back is rather they're necessary or not. Thank you for the video!

@DrClareLynch 3 года назад

Thanks, Tramar! In most cases, each client will have their own preferred style guide, so that's something you should check with them before starting the job. If they don't, your best bet is to pick the one most suitable for the job and use that for your own purposes (to make life easier for you). One of my favourites is The Economist Style Guide. But again, the guide you choose will depend on the industry and the region the documents will be published in.

I just had a look at your webpage, could you please advise which videos to watch for help with proofreading/error spotting of a fiction manuscript?

@DrClareLynch Год назад

You could check out my online course, Proofread Like a Pro, which will give you a good introduction to proofreading. I don't have any content specific to proofreading fiction, but many of the principles will be the same as for any document. If you sign up for my Writing School, you'd also get my comprehensive course on punctuation, which will be helpful.
