    Abstract

    Systematic, practical, complete - an essential resource for anyone who works with words.

While proofreading is obviously not the only important job in the writing process, it is a necessary one - last, but definitely not least. The best proofreaders know that efficient and precise proofreading requires more than grammatical and mechanical expertise.
