Newsletter Proofreading Makes Writing Shine

By Melissa Ward


A writing career is the dream of many for a lot of reasons. Perhaps they have a particular subject they enjoy writing about or just enjoy expressing themselves. With the invention of blogs and other online platforms, getting started is easy but sometimes the process can be a little daunting. While some writers can do their own editing, others prefer to use a newsletter proofreading service to ensure there are no mistakes before it goes to publish.

Even if a person has a nice grasp of grammar and other word mechanics, having a fresh view of something can make a big difference. Proofreaders can also help with formatting and optimizing text for search engines. Overall, they make minor corrections without changing the tone of the writing.

A lot of these services can also assist with another area that some writers overlook. Search engine optimization, or as it is commonly known SEO, is important in order for works to be seen online. When works are edited to be found in search engines, it can increase the numbers of visitors to a blog or website.

This is to ensure that vital portions of text, like the summary, can be found in engine searches. The same applies to photographs or other images associated with their blog, newsletter, or website. If a writer sells through a merchant site or two, this can accompany any links associated with the seller.

Writers that want to enter the world of self publishing may find there are many ways to go at it alone for little to no cost. However, it goes back to the saying of getting what is paid for. Oftentimes, the alignment or layout so awkward that comprehension may be difficult for the reader. Even worse, the writer may have limitations when it comes to using fonts or images.

Making a good impression is important to any writer looking to build a solid reputation. If regular readers do not enjoy the book or newsletter, formatting or content is usually the reason. If the book receives bad reviews the first time around, chances are likely they will lose money or just barely break even.

The scope of a copy editor or proofreader is not to make anyone sound dull. Both should understand the tone or genre well enough to comprehend what improvements can be made. In the case of creative nonfiction, there is more freedom than academic or scientific writing but they want to ensure that audiences will be able to relate.

Many writers from various genres or abilities find that editing services can make the wordsmith life a little easier. This holds especially true for those writers that may have other responsibilities like handling marketing or drafting their next project. Oversights are very common with those who do a lot of writing and it saves face from having another party point out these things. When this happens, payment may be delayed.
