Top proofreading tips: assessing the typescript

Before starting work on a proofreading job, an initial analysis of the typescript is conducted.

They are then able to provide the client with an estimate of the necessary time for the proofread, as well as to query any inconsistencies or choices the writer may have made. This blog explores top techniques for carrying out a thorough and efficient assessment of the typescript prior to proofreading.
