SfEP Proofreading Mentoring Scheme
I have also completed proofreading work through this scheme under the supervision of an experienced proofreader. It was a copy of a real job that my mentor had already undertaken and her mark up was taken away to provide me with my project.
I proofread a linguistics textbook against a copy-edited manuscript. Once I had completed the work to an agreed deadline, I sent the corrected proofs, plus my author query list, back to my mentor together with a letter as if to a publishing desk editor. My work was then reviewed and we met for a feedback session.
