You’ve written a book. Now, how do you proofread and edit your creation cost effectively?<\/p>\n
As a self-publisher you have to take on many responsibilities like proofreading and copy editing your manuscript.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a big difference between the two. Proofreading can be done by almost anyone with a good understanding of spelling and grammatical structure of a language while copy editing requires a person with remarkable command and mastery of the English language and critical thinking.<\/p>\n

The dictionary meaning of proofreading is to read a copy or a proof in order to find errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and mark corrections.<\/p>\n
I have seen many professionals write, \u201cyour a fool,\u201d instead of using the contraction \u201cyou\u2019re\u201d. I have seen posters signed \u201cyour the best\u201d. Of course I was appalled. This goes to show that not everyone can be a proofreader.<\/p>\n
