So, I surfed to your site and found this fantastic article. Just what I need. I’m particularly intrigued by the “reading backwards” suggestion. I think I’ll try it.

The more I write, the more likely I am to make mistakes. So, I think blogging on a regular basis has become a proofreading challenge and new learning curve. At the same time, I’m forced to just be okay with some mistakes and typos and let them slide. Otherwise, I’d publish a lot fewer blogs.

Anyway, thanks for the useful tips. And keep up the good work!

Here are 10 tips for proofreading and some really fun exercises that will help writers catch their own mistakes-even spelling errors! See if you can catch all of the errors at Top 10 Proofreading Tips without using these tips. I’ll wager that you can’t. These proofreading tips will make a difference in your own writing and in that of your students.

I also find that it is so much easier to proofread work when it is printed rather than on the screen, as you can miss mistakes otherwise.

Being grammatically correct is essential for a writer as without good spelling and grammar it could potentially damage your reputation.
