Story Craft Forum Proofreading Other Peoples Wri..

**Excerpt from the article**

One of the fastest and most efficient ways to become a better writer is to proofread others� writings� but what happens when you don�t have anyone knocking on your door begging for an editor?

No one said that you had to be asked to proof someone else�s works in order to do so! In fact, your local newspaper, favourite magazine, or frequently visited ezine could be the perfect place to find creative writings for you to rework. Though you�ll never be telling the authors that you�ve proofread and edited their pieces (and, let�s face it, they probably wouldn�t appreciate the comments from a stranger who isn�t paying them), you�ll be gaining valuable insight and experience for yourself. You�ll also get a feel for the �marketability� of one work versus another, a serious advantage if you�re planning to freelance.
