Reading leads to traveling with the mind in a parallel dimension, excites, allows you to grow, but also to have fun. In order to engage and attract the reader of your ebook, blog, text, or short social post, you’ve probably done passionate research, rewritten drafts to the point of exhaustion, until you find the best version to publish.

While your content may be engaging and connect deeply with your readers, simple mistakes and typos can drastically disrupt their experience. The solution for you might just be proofreading. Simple, fast, and even Free!

Even the best writers are prone to mistakes: simple oversights like “on” instead of “in”, “you’re” instead of “your”, or typos, and duplicate words. Simple mistakes can cause the reader to focus on these instead of your content, and you may lose credibility; it’s called the “teeth-spinach effect“: if I eat spinach before I speak at a conference and have one piece left between my teeth, my audience will be focused on that instead of my compelling speech.

Proofreading should be done, first, by the author and only then by the editor. However, it can be very challenging to find errors by the author, this is because of mental tricks: the brain already knows what it is going to read and will not pay proper attention to any grammatical oversights.
