Do you have a friend or spouse proofread your articles?  

I've proofread articles my husband's written for magazines, but haven't asked him to proofread my AC articles. I wish I'd asked someone to proofread one of them, because the word "to" is missing from it, so the sentence doesn't nake sense. I was typing too fast, I guess. I have noticed many typos in other articles, so I don't think the AC people point out any errors. It's up to us.

what is AC really all about? is a site that pays for writing article? i guess i could be interested if i have more information.

That sounds like a great idea I am Shaun72 or writer815@yahoo.com. I have a few articles on ac so if you want to read them I need to start writting more and let someone proof read mind.

I don't, just because I am not a proofreading type of person. However, I read over articles for others sometimes. But for my own, how I write it the first time is exactly what I want. No outlines, no proofreading.

I don't have anyone around to proofread for me but I like to set my article aside for a day or two. It is amazing how many mistakes pop up on a second or third reading. Some authors recommend setting things aside even longer, like up to a week or 10 days so you can look at it with new eyes.

I try to proofread my articles at least a couple times. I see a lot of articles on there that could use some proofreading help! I often find mistakes after I have "finished and previewed" and take time to edit them out. For some reason I find them easier to spot once they are uploaded. No matter what good points the article may make, misspelling and bad grammar and punctuation make it look sloppy and carelessly written.

I usually don't have anyone look over my stuff, which I know is a bad thing because I know I have a lot mistakes that I need corrected. I don't know anyone however that really would be willing enough to look over my stuff and correct it well.

I don't have much of a problem typing too fast because I'm very slow. I don't have anyone proofread my articles. I have Word Perfect on my computer and write my article their first. Their is a tool called Grammatik that will check your spelling and proper grammar. Boy, do I love it! I'm a good speller, but sometimes not so great with the grammar part of it. It really helps! I usually checkto see if I can fit in any popular key or search words. Their are a few sites where yo can find out what the most popular search words or phrases are, including AC. People who have written about tips on using AC have some great ideas that are very helpful. I too usually double check or even triple check with fresh eyes before submitting it.

Heh heh I have a couple of articles published on AC with typos in them. One I made the mistakes and in the other who-ever there decided to make my subheadline did it. Doesn't really bother me though., most of my stuff is well typed and just shows I am human.
