The author tells us lots of different ways to get work if you&#8217;re willing to put in the effort. There were many ways I had never thought of. The book explains proofreading symbols used on hard copies concisely and simply. There is a bonus chapter on electronic editing using Track Changes in MS Word. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can honestly say that I learned a lot from this book. The section on how to make a resume specifically for proofreading jobs is a very useful part of the book. The book also contains three proofreading tests along with their key that you can use to test your skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am highly impressed at how the author covered many parts of a freelance proofreading career in detail despite the short length of the book. If you are even slightly considering freelancing as a proofreader, this book can be your guide. If you already are a proofreader, you can still pick up this book to get additional tips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Connect with me on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tavleen_words\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tavleensoni\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/32793447-tavleen-kaur\">Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2020\/08\/13\/paid-to-proofread-by-suzanne-gilad-book-review\/#more-13086\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Paid To Proofread by Suzanne Gilad \u2013 Book Review<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[83,85,99,519,520,517,361,518],"class_list":["post-13086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-book-recommendations","tag-book-review","tag-books","tag-how-to","tag-make-money-online","tag-non-fiction-books","tag-proofreading","tag-self-help"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4559,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/04\/books-i-read-in-january-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":13086,"position":0},"title":"January 2017 Reads","date":"February 4, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Hello everyone!
