Proofreading

A text can fall due to errors in language, both in its credibility and legibility. Due to this, proofreading is an important part of text processing, and something one should never overlook. It is the last step before the layout is set, and is a step one ought to plan for in advance so that there is time for it to be done well. A proofreader directs their attention to spelling mistakes, misplaced modifiers, wording, and the like. If there are particular errors or words that are important to look out for it’s a good idea to mention them in the conversation beforehand.

Page proofs

When text and possible image are finished being set, it’s time for a last check by a page proofer. Page proofing is not meant to handle spelling mistakes, that belongs under proofreading. Instead, page proofing is meant to make sure that word-breaks are neat and legible, that typographical symbols such as dashes, quotation marks, and such are properly in place, and that image captions are present and well written, as well as other similar things. It is the last step before the manuscript goes to print, and important to make sure everything looks neat and tidy.
