ProofreadingWhen you proofread, you look for errors with grammar, spelling, and punctuation. This is best done on a hard copy of themanuscript. As with editing, you will probably want to read the text out loud. You might even want to considerreading backwards, which helps defamiliarize the text in your mind and makes typos easier to catch.ReferencesBooth, W.C., Colomb, G.G., & Williams, J. M. (2008).
