Proofreading of written material is the final and essential step that must be taken before a document can be considered complete.
Proofreading may include checking things like:
- Spelling
- Punctuation
- Grammar
- Paragraphing
Proofreading helps you to check that you have included everything you wanted to say in any piece of writing.
- It gives you a chance to review your work and add in anything you may have missed out.
- Check for errors
- Prompt you to add information that you may have forgotten
- Check the flow of the piece
- Remove areas of repetition or irrelevant bits of information
- Check formatting
For example, emails are usually the first port of contact between you and a new client, business partnership, blogger, colleague etc. You wouldn't look very credible if you had simple mistakes in the subject or body of the email.
So it is of importance that one proofreads their documents.
