Many writiers have difficulty proofreading their own work because the eye/brain tends to overlook what it has written or it self-corrects. Therefore, it is best to proofread outloud either by reading aloud while alone or with a friend - while you readwith each of you holding a copy of the text. By reading aloud I mean not only reading the words outloud but also reading the punctuation outload. For example: "For example colon open parens (or open parnetheses)..." You get the idea. Remember, spell check is not your friend.
