Proofreading toolkit

It's been a busy 2008 so far - I've finally started work on writing a proofreading course/toolkit. In recent months it's struck me that many clients would benefit from some general tips on proofreading, and indeed some clients who approach me mention that they would like to improve their proofreading skills.

Everyone can benefit from brushing up on proofreading, and that's why I want to provide a course that really makes a difference in day-to-day writing. I've no interest in writing a dry, epic proofreading tutorial that's crammed full of hideously complicated and coma-inducing grammar rules. Instead, I'm creating a lively, simple, user-friendly 'toolkit' that's written in English rather than grammar-speak. It won't make a professional proofreader out of you, but it will certainly make a difference and will iron out the common mistakes writers make that I correct day in, day out . . .
