Improve your Writing Tip #12 - Always get someone else to read your work

Source: http://prowritingaid.com

It is amazing how difficult it is to catch all of the errors in a document yourself. Your eye just skips over them because it knows what should be there and just assumes it is. Proofreading a document is a difficult skill to master as it requires a huge amount of concentration but it is even harder if it is your own document.
Invariably you will only notice the mistake once it's too late. It's much easier for someone who is not familiar with the text to spot the errors. Always get someone else to read through your document. If you can't afford a professional editor then get a family member, friend, or colleague to read through it. You'll be amazed at how many errors they are able to pick out.
