<strong>Professional</strong> <strong>proofreading</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>highly</strong> <strong>recommended</strong><br />

It <strong>is</strong> one thing to make a m<strong>is</strong>take and another to keep making it again and again. Making m<strong>is</strong>takes <strong>is</strong> a<br />

learning process where one learns from one’s faults. And it can happen in any work we do be it cooking,<br />

driving, reading or writing. But one must also know the ways to rectify the same m<strong>is</strong>takes and be careful<br />

that theydo not occur in future.<br />

Concentrating on writing errors, everyday numerous people write numerous articles, blogs, theses,<br />

d<strong>is</strong>sertations, manuscripts for journals, professional documents, academic papers, business<br />

correspondence, emails, etc. in Engl<strong>is</strong>h. Among them numerous m<strong>is</strong>takes are also spotted. In order to<br />

rectify them, many agencies have emerged to provide <strong>proofreading</strong> services. Throughthe help of these<br />

services all kinds of editing, be it d<strong>is</strong>sertation editing, thes<strong>is</strong> editing, manuscript editing or correction of<br />

any other document <strong>is</strong> done with effective results.<br />

The editing <strong>is</strong> performedby <strong>highly</strong> qualified and trained people who have a good command of the<br />

language and can identify m<strong>is</strong>takesquickly. They proofread and edit the errors that people make as<br />

speakers of Engl<strong>is</strong>h as a second language when writing academic scripts or business<br />

correspondence.During <strong>proofreading</strong>, they edit the m<strong>is</strong>takes that spell-check's <strong>proofreading</strong> function<br />

cannot identify and pol<strong>is</strong>h your writing to a native Engl<strong>is</strong>h standard rather than just correct grammatical<br />

m<strong>is</strong>takes and typos. All documents undergoing <strong>proofreading</strong> / editing are overseen by a senior editor.<br />

Even when they return your document after it has been proofread / edited, some of them also make<br />

editing changes and answer queries that one may have regarding a <strong>proofreading</strong> assignment. Some also<br />

include comments where the meaning <strong>is</strong> unclear. So it <strong>is</strong> always adv<strong>is</strong>able, shouldyou havetime in hand<br />

and sufficient budget, to give your documents or manuscripts the benefit of th<strong>is</strong> <strong>proofreading</strong> service<br />

before sending them for publicationto the professionals.<br />

The reason forstressing the need for professional <strong>proofreading</strong> services <strong>is</strong> mainly because the<br />

editorswho carry outthe editing observe a high degree of professional<strong>is</strong>m and confidentiality at all<br />

times. They try to proofread without having to change too much of the content and only restrict<br />

themselves to correcting the errors that one might have overlooked while writing.<br />

The <strong>proofreading</strong> rates also vary from agency to agency. Some may charge per document, some may<br />

charge per page or per hour, or some may charge per word or character. Before giving your documents<br />

to professionals you are at liberty to browse through the rate charts and then make your selection as<br />

your budget permits.But at the same time you must not sacrifice quality because the motive for<br />

professional help <strong>is</strong> to make your document accurate and acceptable worldwide.


Since manuscript editing requires intricate and careful reading, the editors have eagle eyes so that no<br />

flaw <strong>is</strong> seen in the final draft and the content <strong>is</strong> accurate since it will be publ<strong>is</strong>hed for readers around the<br />

world. And a m<strong>is</strong>take in these types of documents cannot be rectified later if not spotted in the first<br />

place.<br />

So be w<strong>is</strong>e and get your documents or manuscripts proofread and edited by professionals so that a<br />

professional style <strong>is</strong> maintained and the text <strong>is</strong> formatted with cons<strong>is</strong>tency and accuracy.
