Daphne says, "Make your written message work for you. Check style and substance". Daphne's tips for proofreading your work: Read it aloud and also silently but always slowly. Read it backwards to focus on spelling. Use a spellchecker, but don't depend on it. Point with your finger to read one word at a time. Don't proof every type of mistake at once - proof at separate intervals for spelling, grammar, consistency of word usage, etc. Make a 'to-do' list of things to watch for as you edit. Double check little words, they are often interchanged - e.g. or, of, it, and is. Don't use fluorescent lighting while proofing. Listen to music while you work! Daphne says, "Beware of these most common writing errors." Punctuation. Run-on sentences and sentence fragments. Quotation marks/apostrophes. Spelling. Tenses. Paragraphing. Word omissions. Subject-verb agreements. Daphne can help you produce successful presentation materials, proposals and reports. Do you have the time or inclination to handle all this and more? Let Daphne proofread and edit your material for you, so that you can focus on preparation and writing. You can concentrate on your ideas, instead of the grammar.
