When should I use a read-through?

What is a read-through and when should I use it?

A read-through is a process where you read a draft aloud to catch errors and improve flow. It's best used after completing a draft.

Is it useful for both fiction and non-fiction?

Yes, read-throughs are beneficial for both genres. They help identify awkward phrasing and ensure clarity.

How often should I do a read-through?

It's helpful to do a read-through after each major revision and before finalizing your work.

Can I do a read-through on my own, or should I have someone else listen?

You can do both! Reading aloud to yourself helps, but having someone else listen can provide valuable feedback.
