The Importance of a Professional Proofread

In high school and college, proofreading means simply checking for misspellings and basic grammatical issues. In the publishing world, proofreading takes on a larger meaning. In the publishing industry, proofreading is done to ensure the accuracy of typeset pages that have been converted from author- and editor-approved manuscript.

In addition to double-checking for spelling and gross grammatical errors, a proofreader will also verify that the final proofs meet all of the following requirements:

* The manuscript and the page proofs contain the same information.

* Typeface and font are displayed accurately.

* Hyphenation is used correctly, according to the style imposed by the author, editor, and publisher.

* All illustrations and tables have been placed correctly by the typesetter/page designer.

* Permissions are in order and source lines are accurate.

* The contents of the book are accurately recorded in the table of contents.

* Length and vertical spacing on page spreads is acceptable.

* There are no widows (a very short line at the top of each page), orphans (a short line appearing at the bottom of a page or a single word or phrase on a line by itself at the end of a paragraph), or unacceptable variations in spacing around elements.

In the traditional publishing world, page proofs are generally proofread multiple times: initially by a professional proofreader, then by the author, and finally by the production editor. For your work to stand up against the many others on the market, a proofread is highly recommended.
