Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Proofreading is the process of identifying and correcting writing errors, such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other language mistakes. Proofreading is an important step that improves the readability, clarity, and professional appearance of documents and manuscripts.

When hiring a proofreader, one of the most important considerations is to work with a personal proofreader. With Proof Positive Papers, you work with me  – period. I personally work on every document and provide you with meticulous, careful service.

I detect and correct the complete range of proofreading and light copyediting issues: typos, misspellings, punctuation, faulty grammar, clarity issues, sentence/paragraph structure, transitions, word choice, verb tenses, and more. Some documents require only slight modifications because the author started with a solid grasp of the fundamentals. In some instances, though, writers come to me with text that requires a little more intervention. For those projects, I happily stray a little deeper and offer some light copyediting suggestions.

Proof Positive Papers uses Microsoft Word’s “Track Changes” feature to mark all insertions and deletions. This powerful feature uses colored type, strike-through, and underlining to clearly show you (on-screen or in a printout) our recommended edits. Using a right-click, you can accept or reject edits as you see fit.
