Tips and Tricks for Proposal Proofreading

Proofreading that wins points starts with compliance, then clarity. Use checklists, style sheets, and two-pass edits to deliver evaluator-friendly proposals.

Proposal proofreading is more than catching typos—it protects compliance and makes strengths easy to score. This topic teaches a practical workflow: run an RFP compliance check first, then apply a mini style sheet to standardize names, numbers, acronyms, and units. Use targeted searches to remove inconsistencies, verify figures and dates against source records, and confirm cross-references, captions, and numbering. Finally, polish layout for readability (headings, callouts, widows/orphans) and finalize deliverables with clean filenames, metadata, working links, and a locked PDF. Tools, checklists, and samples included.

If you'd like to see your group contributing units to the library, encourage them to explore Twennie's topics and find ones they feel confident talking about. They can share within your group only, your organization only, or with the whole Twennie community.

my organization's library units

Organizations with a culture of learning are stronger and more successful. If you'd like to see your organization contributing units to the library, start by contributing yourself. Write articles and record videos on topics that interest you. If you have templates and exercises that have been useful to you in the past, share those, too. Your organization will follow your lead.
