Proofreading Secrets Contest Winners
In anticipation of the January 31 release of my new book, Proofreading Secrets of Best-Selling Authors, I held a contest last November and December.
Each week during the PS Contest, I posted a question about proofreading. The most interesting answer I got for each question won a free copy of my new book!
The eight proofreading questions were:
1. Why is it important for writers to carefully proofread their manuscripts?
2. What proofreading methods have you found most useful to catch typos, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies in manuscripts?
3. What resources have you found most helpful to discover and learn the industry-standard rules for punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling?
4. What interesting or amusing typos have you found in your own writing before it was published?
5. What typos have you (or your readers) found in your writing after publication?
6. What punctuation rules do you struggle with the most?
7. What grammar rules do you find most confusing?
8. What spelling/usage problems have you encountered in your writing?
Congratulations to the winners!
