Eat Ray Love - the importance of proofreading your work!

My friend, Emma, sent me this the other day.  I am sure Rachel Ray doesn't really want to cook her family and her dog.....
When it comes to proofreading your work, it is so easy to miss punctuation marks. Take the example here from "Tails" Magazine. It should read: "Rachel Ray finds inspiration in cooking, her family and her dog." The editor claims that the comma was there before they went to print, but somewhere along the way, it was lost!

This is just one of the many examples of why it is so important to have your work proofread by someone other than yourself...like Expedite Publishing!





If you have any pictures, please drop me a line!
Happy Writing!
