Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process, and it is where documents are carefully reviewed for surface-level errors like spelling mistakes, grammar, punctuation, and formatting. Its purpose is to catch and correct minor mistakes that were missed in earlier stages of editing to make sure that the text is clean, professional, and error-free before publication or sharing.

I only accept manuscripts that I haven’t read before.
