The Adventure: WHO NEEDS A PROOFREADER?

Who Needs a Proofreader?

Have you ever been reading something and noticed a misspelled word or incorrect punctuation? Did noticing that mistake lead you down a rabbit trail that had nothing to do with what you were reading? Or maybe, like me, the error makes you wonder if the author really knows his stuff and has the credibility you expected. Words matter. How words are written matter too. Anyone that writes content that others read can benefit from a proofreading service.

If you have ever tried to proofread your own writing, you know that it is extremely difficult. You tend to read what you hope to communicate, not necessary the words on the page before you. Even after walking away and coming back to your text, it is so hard to objectively review your own writing. “Humble pie” is not very tasty but I have gotten fat from it by the number of times I have sent a letter or important document to someone and realized just after sending it that it contained a typo. A moment of panic sets in as I wonder if my error will hamper the opportunity to establish a relationship or gain a future client. The consequences are not always detrimental, but they certainly have the potential to be, depending on the context.

Countless sectors can benefit from a proofreading service.

• ·        Publishers ensuring that the final product is polished before going to press
• ·        Human Resource professionals responsible for employee manuals and newsletters
• ·        Freelance Authors wanting to sell their work
• ·        Website Content Managers promoting a business or products
• ·        Teachers and Professors crafting their content
• ·        Marketing and Ad Campaigns seeking to drive sales
• ·        Curriculum Providers educating on a broad scale
• ·        Administrative Professionals writing policies and correspondence
• ·        Students submitting essays and term papers

The list is endless. So much of what we read today comes in the form of electronic content. Has the quality of that content been compromised due to the sense of it being “disposable” or fluid? After all, it is not set in print and can easily be changed. Nonetheless, quality should not and must not be compromised. Maintaining high standards by adhering to well established writing guidelines is worth it.

This is precisely why Printworthy Proofreading exists. We would like to ensure that when you make your written content available for others to read, your writing is free of grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors.
