International Café: "Proof Positive: Quick Proofreading and Editing Strategies" at Pitt, January 26.

The University of Pittsburgh's Writing Center will host its next International Cafe workshop, "Proof Positive: Quick Proofreading and Editing Strategies," on January 26.

How can you become a better editor of your own work while you’re writing? What strategies can you use to proofread your own writing once you’ve already produced a draft? At this International Café, we’ll learn and apply specific strategies for editing and proofreading, and learn the difference between the two. We’ll also address some of the most common language troubles International Students face in their writing.

You are encouraged to come with a paragraph of your own in-progress writing to work on your independent editing and proofreading skills.

The workshop runs from 3:30 to 4:30 pm in the Writing Center, located at 317B O'Hara Student Center (map). It is free and open to Pitt students.
