Manuscript proofreading

Manuscript proofreading is the careful review of a written document to identify and correct errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting. It ensures the text is clear, accurate, and polished before publication or submission. Proofreading focuses on surface-level mistakes, maintaining the writer’s voice and style while improving overall readability. This process is essential for professional presentation and credibility, helping to prevent misunderstandings or misinterpretations caused by overlooked errors. It is usually the final step after editing, ensuring the manuscript is as error-free as possible.
