Proofreading And Editing Business Writing (Many Exercises) (Udemy.com)

Proofreading isn't fun. But it is necessary. Learn the best proofreading techniques to help you have fewer errors in your writing and have your writing appear more professional.

PROOFREADING TECHNIQUES

I'll walk you through what to do on each proofreading pass through every draft of your text. We'll start from proofreading of draft zero, which is just your initial starting point. And as your document matures, I'll also show you what to start looking for with every revision.

I'll also show you how to collaborate and perform proofreading and text editing in a team of two or more people.

LEARN ENGLISH GRAMMAR TO HELP YOUR PROOFREADING

After you'll learn proofreading techniques, you will learn the basics of English grammar. We'll start with basics like the building blocks of a sentence and once you feel comfortable with that, we'll move on to writing sentences together so they read well.

HOW IMPROVED PROOFREADING WILL HELP YOUR CAREER

At any job, you must write. You will write everything ranging from texts and instant messages to email to fill-length documents. This course will help you master grammar so you can impress with your writing no matter what you are writing or with whom you are communicating.

Your co-workers, managers, or potential clients will often get their first impression of you from your writing. Whether it's a potential client visiting your website or a manager or a potential employer, sometimes they see your work like a resume or a report or an email pitch before they have a chance to meet you.

If you make a bad first impression with your writing, you may not get a chance to talk to your client on go on a job interview. But if you make a great first impression with your writing, it may open doors and give you a chance to prove yourself further.

EDITING FOR WRITING: LEARN TEXT DOCUMENT OR WORD DOCUMENT EDITING

After proofreading, you need editing. I'll show you collaborative techniques to edit text documents and various business documents so your whole team can edit a document in a convenient and intuitive way that decreases chance of error and maximizes engagement and team collaboration.

MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH WRITING AS A CAREER TOOL

I was a Computer Science major in college. But because I was interested in writing, my ability to write better always helped me stand out above my peers.

I always had a better than average resume, and got better jobs than my peers. When I went into online business, writing helped me write my books, blog posts, and other website content. In online marketing, writing helps me write better titles and descriptions of my products. Writing also helps me have more efficient online communication. I use it every day and it is in nearly everything I do. This is why I highly recommend it for you too.

IMPROVE YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL

One of the great professional soft skills is attention to detail. Show your managers and co-workers that you are a true professional by proofreading your written professional communication, and having it impress!
