Once you have completed the drafts of your essays you should leave them aside and for a day or two (if possible) and take some rest. Then start reviewing your essay after some time. Because when you are continuously engaged in writing your mind is continuously engaged in the same environment and is all full of the same ideas and thoughts which makes it quite rare to point out the differences and errors. When you proofread it after the break with a fresh mind you are more able to identify the mistakes and can see things from a different perspective. There are also many websites available over the internet for freely checking the grammatical errors and mistakes in your writing. Grammarly is indeed one of the websites for this website it is not only free to use for all types of grammar and spelling mistakes but its paid version also gives suggestions for more suitable words that must be replaced for making your essay more like a pro. You can use this app right after completing your essay writing and check all your mistakes and plagiarism.
The best way for identifying the mistakes in your writing is in the printed copy. Psychological studies have shown that a person is more able to identify the mistakes in printed content as compared to a soft copy. So when you are finished with your essay writing just take out the print of your work. Don’t worry about the formatting, editing, and style this task is to be done at the end. Psychologically when a person has the written content in the printed form he can inspect more and there are greater chances of skipping the mistakes in soft copy. So after printing out your essay give it a thorough reading. You may need to read it twice or thrice for pointing out certain mistakes. For instance, when you were writing you may write certain long sentences that you consider right at that time. But when you read them later you noticed that their length is making it confused.
Keep one thing in mind that when you are writing something it is always advised to work alone in a silent and comfortable place so that you can keep your concentration on your writing only. Communication can cause you to divert your concentration and you may skip noticing any mistake. When you start proofreading the length of the essay also has a psychological effect on your mind and you may not proofread it properly. So the right way is to breakdown your essay into parts and then proofread it.
Another way of proofreading is to read aloud your written text. When you read it loudly you will notice what is the tone and style of your message and are your words and context clear in meaning and understanding. This will help you easily identify your errors. So don’t worry if you don’t have anyone to review your work and give you feedback. You can do it all by yourself, you can review your work for yourself. Whenever you make any changes in your essay you must go back to the start of the paragraph and read it again to check whether the changes you have made are right and suitable because certain changes are suitable to the sentence but may contradict the idea and content of the whole paragraph.
The last suggestion of proofreading is hiring the services for proofreading. We placed it on last because it is the solution which is not free and you have to pay for it. There are many online services available for essay writing that also offer services for proofreading and reviewing. These services have experts in the field of academic and professional writing and have abilities and expertise in reviewing the written content from experts’ point of view.
