Is Professional Training Necessary For Proofreading?

Professional proofreading is not simply looking for typos, though it does include that. Professional proofreading also involves checking an editor’s edits to ensure they catch every error and that the document adheres to the given style guide. Simply scanning for typos does not require professional training and can be done by a colleague or friend. However, having a professional proofread your content gives it that extra level of polish.

Proofreading’s fundamentals include:

1. Looking for sentence fragments

2. Final formatting of line breaks and spaces

between words and lines

3. Checks for subject/verb agreement

4. Check pronouns for common errors such as their/there or your/you’re

Proofreading sometimes blurs in with copy editing, but they are two distinct parts of the editing process. Proofreaders will often read a document out loud to ensure it reads naturally, as this also helps catch any errors.
