I also do my own copy editing and printing to paper is my way as well. I find that the physical paper + a highlighter + a pen helps me best. I'm 42 years old and I'd be interested to hear if others who are in their 20s feel the same about paper.
- stevejalim 14y agoI spent the best part of a decade as a journalist, editor and copywriter and I never found a more effective way to edit and proof copy than paper + pen. And whenever I had freelancers in who insisted that on-screen only was better/faster than on paper for them, I'd let them do it how they wanted, but they invariably spotted fewer mistakes, so not much faster in the long run. Anecdotal, sure, but paper works better in my view. Edit: I'm 37
