The proofreader is responsible for checking the drafts of original texts after they have been edited and before they are sent to be printed or published, providing quality control to ensure that nothing has been lost in the process since the original texts. The proofreader carefully checks the pre-press proofs (that show what the final published version will look like), whether it is a printed version or on-screen. Therefore, they must be proficient in using specialised computer programmes to mark and correct documents. The most significant changes must be discussed with the client.
Tasks
Make sure there are no errors in the text, such as letters in incorrect order, confusing words or misplaced page breaks.
Ensure that all the material has been included and is in the correct place.
Review the numbering of the pages.
Verify that the document is in line with the house's publishing style.
Make sure that the table of contents corresponds with the order of the chapters and that the illustrations correspond with the text.
Work on screens with editing programmes or using paper, CDs or the Internet.
Talk with the author and editor regarding any possible issues of questionable credibility. If working on a self-employed basis, the proofreader must manage the calendar and budget, in addition to promoting their work.
Education in languages at an advanced level, specifically the language that is being proofread. Depending on the subject of the texts to be proofread, specific knowledge on the subject being proofread will be needed, since these will vary if the documents are, for example, scientific journals or technical texts.
Other specific skills
Knowledge of the computer programmes for editing and correction, the most common of which continues to be Microsoft Word.
Usually, it is preferred that the proofreader have previous experience in publications, journalism or related areas, but experience is not absolutely necessary.
Those who show a preference for the field of communication are interested in the generation and dissemination of information. This information, however, can have various purposes: provide information on events and occurrences, generate public opinion on a certain topic or promote and publicise a service or product. Carrying out these activities requires knowledge of various techniques aimed at communication, persuasion and marketing.
Humanities
The key interests of people who are interested in the field of humanities are studying the activity of human beings over time as well as their cultural and artistic expressions. Activities that represent this field are the creation of cultural products and the organisation of exhibitions and events, in addition to the promotion of actions for the preservation and dissemination of an artistic group. Significant knowledge of cultural, historical and linguistic heritage is required to carry out these activities.
A wage earner can work full-time or part-time. If they work on a self-employed basis, they will have a flexible schedule, although they must meet the deadlines set by the client.
Salary
In the case of wage earners, the salary can vary from 24,000 to 40,000 euros (gross) a year, also based on experience.
Other features
Promotion and marketing activities must be carried out in order to attract new clients.
Self-employment
It tends to be a common alternative for proofreaders.
Human resources and equipment
Self-employed workers must be constantly available and therefore have access to a landline and an Internet connection. When working from home, expenses are calculated to be around 3,500 euros a year (including consumables, supplies, stationery, etc). If one works at an office, they should consider the price of leasing this space (approximately 7,200 euros a year).
Initial investments
A proofreader generally needs basic computer equipment, such as a computer, printer and computer peripherals. For this item, the initial investment will total approximately 2,500 euros (depending on the equipment's quality and services). If they lease a premises and must furnish it, the initial investment for this item would be some 800 euros.
