Sobre este producto
  • Every book is an opportunity to improve the author’s reputation and credibility. If you know how to write a sentence that sounds good and notice when someone forgets the period or closing parenthesis, does that make you a proofreader? It could—but there’s more to proofreading than recognizing the errors. You can find excellent books that teach grammar, punctuation, and style rules. But knowing the rules isn’t the same as knowing how to proofread effectively, strengthen writing, or prioritize the most critical errors. Proofreading Basics is your guide to tackling a book manuscript or interior file with confidence. Learn what to focus on first, how to handle sentences that follow the rules but still don’t sound quite right, and—most importantly—the mindset needed to adapt your approach to each project. Whether you're polishing your own work or refining someone else’s, this book will help you elevate your proofreading skills and ensure every book you touch is the best it can be. Here’s what you’ll gain from Proofreading Basics:A step-by-step guide to the proofreading process—from the moment you receive a manuscript to the final quality checkAn understanding of the most important errors to identify and correctA clear breakdown of the differences between a pre-design and a post-design proofreadPractical strategies for using Microsoft Word effectively, including tracking changes, electronic searches, and leveraging the all-important navigation paneA comprehensive checklist to ensure print-ready files meet professional quality standardsProofreading done well is an art that combines precision, accuracy, judgment, and collaboration.
