Have a passion for proofreading?
Or maybe you’re just curious. Maybe you’re disinterested—or is that uninterested? Read on to discover subtle word differences that really do matter—particularly in proofreading.
Welcome to my novel proofreader’s blog, where I plan to share resources related to proofreading in general and proofreading novels in particular.
I’ll explore correct word usage, grammar, commonly mispelled misspelled words, and how these all relate to proofreading novels. As someone whose who’s been spotting errors in novels for decades, I never tier tire of homing honing manuscripts into finished, polished gems.
Whew! See all those potential proofreading pitfalls? Us We novel proofreaders need too to have sharp eyes!
Proofreading Information
Besides highlighting my novel proofreading services, I look forward to providing proofreading information that’s useful to both novelists and proofreaders.
Proofreading Tips
Learn tools of the proofreading trade, including tips and tricks to make proofreading easier and more instinctive.
Proofreading Tests
Proofreading doesn’t have to be boring. I’ll be livening things up with some challenging—and entertaining—proofreading tests. Think you’ve got proofreading down? Test yourself. It’s a fun way to study, really!
Oh, and about disinterested vs uninterested: these words are not interchangeable; as a proofreader, you’d better get them right!
You probably know that uninterested means not interested. However, disinterested is not so negative. Disinterested means impartial or unbiased (neither interested nor uninterested).
And now that I’ve lost your interest, I’ll bid you farewell till my next proofreader’s blog entry.
