When doing my second round of edits for my latest book, Trapped in My Zombie Body, I needed to attack from a different angle. The first round was a straight reading (out loud) for continuity, flow, spelling, and grammar. It took 15 minutes a page, which was 16 words per minute. The next round was to find simple mistakes for words that were commonly mistyped:
- of / off
- there / their / they’re
- who / whom
- effect / affect
- quiet / quite
- its / it’s
- lose /loose
