Editing & Proofreading Cheat Sheet
– A lot of questions I receive revolve around editing and proofreading, so I decided to make an extensive guide to editing your own writing. I collaborated with some amazing friends on this post so this is dedicated to them as well as all of you. I hope you find it useful. Enjoy!
Know The Difference: Editing vs. Proofreading
Editing is about the content, proofreading is about the technical detail and accuracy. Once you know the difference and you separate the two into different tasks, going through and actually doing it will seem less daunting. Deciding which to tacking first depends on what you’re like when you edit, but if you struggling with focusing on actually improving the content because you get distracted by grammatical errors and spelling mistakes, then proofreading first may be a good idea.
Be Intentional With Your Vocabulary
Avoid adverbs
Be frugal with unique adjectives
Only use dialogue tags when absolutely necessary
Be mindful of overused words
Take the time to find the right words
The words you choose can make all the difference so pay special attention to them.
Just Keep Snipping
A basic rule to editing that people often forget it, if it doesn’t serve a purpose, you should cut it out. A short book that is amazing all the way through is better than a long book that is redundant. Don’t worry about leaving your readers in the dark or not having enough content. As you edit, you’ll find ways and places in which to input more information.
Flow & Rhythm
This is the part where you make sure the writing itself sounds how you want it to. It’s important to read your writing aloud during this stage. Some things to pay attention to regarding flow and rhythm:
sentence length/variation
sentence structure
syllables and how they fit together
how your writing sounds out loud
Eloquence
Say it once and say it clearly. Redundancy bores readers so quickly, so when putting information forward, be clear, concise, and don’t add fluff. You don’t need to write a whole paragraph about how a character feels in a situation. It’s important to give the reader just enough to read between the lines.
Grammar
Common Grammar Mistakes To Look For
Subject-verb agreement errors
Sentence Fragments
Missing Comma After Introductory Element
Misusing The Apostrophe With “Its”
No Comma In A Compound Sentence
Misplaced Or Dangling Modifier
Vague Pronoun Reference
Wrong Word Usage
Run-On Sentence
Superfluous Commas
Lack Of Parallel Structure
Sentence Sprawl
Comma Splice
Colon Mistakes
Split Infinitives
List from here x {Explains these further and more in depth}
Improper Use of Phrases
“could have” not “could of”
“My friends and I” not “me and my friends” {If you take away “my friends” or “I”, or one of the nouns in a sentence in general, the sentence should still make sense}
“I couldn’t care less” not “I could care less”. This should be a no-brainer.
etc.. I could go on.
Familiarize yourself with these common mistakes and avoid making them at all costs. It’s also helpful to have someone read over it and let you know when they find issues with phrases you used. Please be attentive to these mistakes because making them can destroy your credibility as a writer.
Utilize The Senses
If you’re describing something in your writing, you should be slipping in words and little details that appeal to the reader’s senses, When editing, look for opportunities to slip in how a place smells, how a food tastes, how something feels to the touch, etc. It’s unbelievable how much this enhances your story.
Punctuation & Format
Punctuation Rules In English
the period (or full stop in British English)
the comma
the exclamation mark
the question mark
the colon
the semicolon
the quotation mark
the apostrophe
the hyphen and the dash
parentheses and brackets
Source x
When proofreading and marking up your manuscript, it can save a lot of time and energy if you use marks instead of actually write out everything, so here is a little chart I found that may be useful to you:
Other Things To Look Out For
Make sure you know who is talking
Keep tense consistent
Vary the tone from scene to scene
Run-on sentences
Inconsistencies in story details
Plot holes
Causes and effects of events are explained
Facts and technical details {Make sure you’ve researched them well}
Deviations from established background (know your story really really well and make sure your reader does too)
General Tips
Go in assuming that your work is full of errors. Maybe it’s not, but it’s better to be prepared for the worst and solve the issues now rather than when it’s too late
DO NOT BE SENTIMENTAL. Yes, easier said than done, but it’s possible.
Make the text less recognizable to yourself in order to catch details you may not otherwise.
Print out your manuscript and physically write out the changes.
Read your writing out loud. Sometimes writing looks like it makes sense, but in reality sounds wrong.
Do it in short periods over time so that you don’t inevitably get lazy with paying attention to little details
Keep in mind that editing usually takes longer than actually writing the draft because it is less fluid and requires more thought and problem solving.
Don’t rely on spelling and/or grammar checking software; they’re not always correct and can easily misinterpret what you’re trying to get across.
Check for a single error at a time. It may be time consuming and tedious but it’s more effective than the alternative.
Give yourself time and read slowly through it multiple times
Split up large chunks of text to make it easier to handle. Don’t go through your whole manuscript page by page as if you were just reading it as a book. Go chapter by chapter or scene by scene or even sentence by sentence.
If something seems off, investigate it. Don’t take a chance and leave it be. If you’re stumped, highlight it and have someone else look over it.
Have a strategy. Maybe not at first, especially if you don’t extensively edit your work regularly, but with time you’ll find what works for you and what doesn’t. Create your own system and use it to save yourself some time and confusion.

Message to the Yuri on ice!!! Fandom Please stop. We get that the show has ignited a love for figure skating, but please stop commenting on the real life figure skaters account about Yuri on ice. Stop spamming the comments on YouTube videos because it’s disrespectful. These people have raw talent and skill, they deserve to read and see comments such as “ breathtaking performance” instead of “who’s here from Yuri on ice?” This comes from an actual figure skater, a competitive one as well. Please have respect.

Please respect skaters
It has come to my attention that several Yuri on Ice fans have been leaving comments on Plushenko’s Facebook account telling him to “leave his wife and find a Japanese skater to fall in love with”, or that he would “look better dating a man”, and other things like that.
This kind of behavior is unacceptable. I know that there are many rumors and theories saying that Victor Nikiforov is based on Plushenko, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to actually stalk real life figure skaters to judge their relationships and harass them over what happens in a fictional show.
Sadly, I’m not surprised to know that these things are happening right now, because I was already afraid that a bunch of fans would end up harassing real life skaters because of Yuri on Ice.
Please, please, be aware that there is a huge difference between a fictional show and real life. Please realize that you are not allowed to do certain things with real people that you can do with fictional characters. Figure skaters are real human beings, with their emotions and struggles and their dignity. As a fandom, we have the obligation to protect real life figure skaters, because they don’t deserve to see their sport stained and their reputation broken by a bunch of fans who couldn’t control themselves because of their need to ship two fictional characters.
Real life figure skaters deserve every ounce of respect, and this is some bad fetishization of gay men in those comments. You simply don’t have the right to judge anyone by their sexual orientation, and you have no right to tell anyone to leave their partner because they would look better dating someone from a different gender. And this is particularly bad when you’re doing all of this because you can’t respect the limits of a fictional work.
I don’t know if other figure skaters have recieved similar comments, but I hope we can stop this right now. We don’t know if such comments could potentially hurt the careers of some skaters, but even if they don’t, nobody deserves to be treated like this. I repeat: skaters are real human beings, not fictional characters for you to play with. Stop shipping real people, and stop telling real people to change their sexual orientation to fit your twisted fetishization of gay men.
Come on, Yuri on Ice fandom. We can do better than this.
#let's be real people#please separate reality from fiction#give them respect and stop saying things to the living figure skaters#honestly#they have their own life you know#don't harass them-_-#if you want to say things just comment appropriately#seriously#yoi#yuuri on ice#figure skating#text post#respect skater
