* Remember, the best way to catch all sentence-level errors in your writing is to reread all sentences while looking for these errors. That is a challenging process, so our book recommends reading your paper in reverse (sentence-by-sentence), asking a friend to read your paper, and distributing your proofreading time. Focus on one or two paragraphs a day, if you can!
