I need to get a more accurate spellchecker since my first review flagged four errors. However, I am having trouble spotting them in this sentence.
Summary: "Deceptive Calm" follows two women best friends of differing races through the challenges of life during the civil rights movement.

The review showed two errors in this sentence. Aside from not italicizing the book title, where is the second one?

Thanks in advance for your patience...I'm extremely new at this.

The title of the book does not need to be italicized anymore. I would think that your errors are "Deceptive Calm" follows two women, best friends of differing races, through the challenges of life during the civil rights movement. Two missing commas.

Here are a few ideas that have helped.

1. After you think you're done with the review, copy and paste it into a grammar checker., like Scribbens. It will give you corrections. Don't correct entire sentences or paragraphs at a time, or you risk the writing being picked up by our AI detectors.

2. Read the review out loud to yourself.

3. Walk away from your review. Come back later and read it out loud to yourself again. You'll be surprised at what you catch.

4. Read it backwards (not out loud). This is an easy way to proofread, as your brain will overlook certain things (repeated words/misspellings) and try to automatically make sense of the writing. When reading it backwards, there is no context, and errors stand out more.

5. Cut and paste your review into a text-to-speech program. Listen to the review and make corrections. You might realize that you've used the same words many times or that your writing is choppy. Or that you're bouncing back and forth between different ideas.

6. Check to make sure you've met each guideline.

7. Now you're ready to submit.
