Editing Tip(s) of the Day

Looking for mistakes. Don’t proof for every type of mistake at once—do one proof for spelling, another for missing/additional spaces (i.e. two spaces instead of one), consistency of word usage (i.e. past tense versus present tense), font sizes, etc. And don’t be afraid to read with your finger while proofreading—it’ll keep you focused on that word.
