Proofreading is a light edit to tighten any last nuts and bolts. By now, you will have done the heavy editing (and you may be seeing sideways with your manuscript). This phase of editing is a last look to make sure everything is in place, all the I’s are dotted, and all the T’s are crossed. Here, we can catch that typo or those minor grammar or punctuation errors.
