Proofreading circles

Have you found that you can read the same paragraph/ chapter time and time again and not spot the obvious mistake? Our familiarity with our writing often means that we miss the writing errors in them (which is why professional writers employ proof-readers)    

We cannot afford a professional proof-reader, but we can support our community of researchers whilst receiving the same support ourselves.    

The Proof-Reading Group is a community-based activity providing support for ourselves.    

In this session, we will discuss some common writing mistakes, and the basic guidelines for proof reading. We will then exchange sections of our writing (maximum 1500 words) and proof-read each other’s work.
