With a hat tip to the writer and editor Glenn Stout, a great editing trick is this:
Change the font and the change the size of the font.
I typically compose in Times New Roman, but to change the “eye level,” to borrow a baseball term, I then edit in Comic Sans size 14.
I know, there’s all kinds of hate for Comic Sans, but let me tell you, I almost never miss a mistake.
Convert it back and ship your clean draft. Easy peasy.
