The more you write, the more spelling, punctuation and typographical errors you will make. These mistakes are extremely difficult to avoid because they are made unconsciously. They ought not to detract from the quality of your prose or the seriousness of your approach. Unfortunately, they do.

These mistakes can create an impression of carelessness that is damaging in a business environment in which the distinctions between substance and presentation are increasingly blurred.

You may think you can do your own proofreading. If you have the time and necessary skills, then you may be right.

Most people are less likely to spot their own mistakes than those made by others. The most glaring error in your own writing will often escape your notice.

Most people don’t have the time to check through everything they have written.

Most people require the services of professional proofreaders.
