Having done all of the hard work to compile your ideas, thoughts, and inspiration into that masterpiece of a document, why leave it to chance that you’ve been standing just a little bit too close to the trees to see the wood? A fresh, impartial, set of eyes will ensure that your words truly, and accurately, reflect the meaning you intended.

 

Proofreading is important as it can add power to your writing; without it, your work has a higher chance of containing errors. Errors, such as poor sentence structure, typographical errors, misspellings, tense confusion, and grammatical mistakes can really undermine your potential and credibility as a writer, personal, professional or academic.

 

Students in particular really feel the benefits of academic proofreading, as not doing so can often result in the loss of up to as much as 10% of their overall grade. 

 

Good proofreading can make all the difference between your work making a positive or a negative impact upon the reader.
