HOW I PROOFREAD my books | EDITING VLOG | day in the life of an author preparing for a book release

These are my specific steps for proofreading a book as a self-published author before a book release to make sure that it is completely ready to publish and that I've covered all my bases. When I proofread I obviously start with a red pen and in this video I'm going to show you what I look for beyond typos and grammatical details, as well as show you how I input those proofreading changes into my document. Hope you enjoy! If you’d like to see my comparison video on the top three companies I have used to order proof copies (Kindle Direct Publishing, Ingramspark, and Barnes & Noble) I have a video on YouTube about that here: https://youtu.be/CQCuNyLwZmY ___ 📚 CHECK OUT THE STOLEN KINGDOM SERIES: https://www.bethanyatazadeh.com/thestolenkingdom ◦ THE STOLEN KINGDOM: https://books2read.com/thestolenkingdom ◦ THE JINNI KEY: https://books2read.com/thejinnikey ◦ THE CURSED HUNTER: https://books2read.com/thecursedhunter ◦ THE ENCHANTED CROWN: https://books2read.com/theenchantedcrown ◦ The Stolen Kingdom Audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/B088FVQNJK/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-195681&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_195681_rh_us ___ ❤️ CHECK OUT MY MERCH STORE: https://teespring.com/stores/bethanyatazadeh 📖 BECOME A PATRON to receive digital early reader copies of my books, writing & publishing advice, help with your author platform, meet writer friends, and so much more! https://www.patreon.com/bethanyatazadeh 💻 SIGN UP FOR MY AUTHOR NEWSLETTER for FREE exclusives (starting with the first HALF of The Stolen Kingdom + a step-by-step self-publishing guide and template): https://www.bethanyatazadeh.com/contact ___ 📒 CHECK OUT MY OTHER WORK: ◦ EVALENE'S NUMBER: https://amzn.to/2LyJt87 ◦ PEARL'S NUMBER: https://amzn.to/38FsJok ◦ HOW YOUR BOOK SELLS ITSELF: https://amzn.to/2KdOUZx ◦ GROW YOUR AUTHOR PLATFORM: https://amzn.to/3oKIMXz ◦ BOOK SALES THAT MULTIPLY: https://amzn.to/3spHXpd ◦ THE CONFIDENT CORGI: https://amzn.to/3oUIa1u ◦ Novel Planner Notebook: https://amzn.to/2LvyD2G ___ ❤️ COMPANIES I LOVE & AM AN AFFILIATE FOR: ◦ PUBLISH AND THRIVE: https://heartbreathings.teachable.com/courses/publish-and-thrive?affcode=145068_cetumz57 ◦ THE BOOK LAUNCH PLANNER & STICKERS (10% off discount code is BETHANY10): https://thebooklaunchplanner.com/?ref=QOknrNnHtPsOE ◦ EPIDEMIC SOUND (where I got the music in this video and others!
