Proofreading is one of the most important procedures to be taken up during the content creation process.

Copyblogger’s Stefanie Flaxman has published an article answering the question ‘What Is the Main Action a Writer Takes When Proofreading?’.

She says, “Whenever someone questions the importance of proofreading, my go-to response is:

“Pubic relations is quite different from public relations.”

We all sometimes make a typo that omits or changes a letter in a word. A typo like that is difficult to spot when the mistake is still an actual word (or words). It’s the obvious reason why the action of proofreading is important for a writer.

Just last week, I wrote “head lice” instead of “headline.” Again, two completely different things.

But I’ve developed proofreading pointers over the years that help me find and correct errors before they are published.”
