About The Proofing Prof

Dan Dowdy, The Proofing Prof, has a keen eye for good writing and well-honed skills in editing, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax. An undergraduate degree in German, along with a double major in Business Administration, cultivated an appreciation for written communication precision. Twenty years of teaching writing competency and business courses to college students provided Dan with many opportunities to help them write it right. Experience working for a Fortune 100 company and owning his own business enabled Dan to learn the importance of clear and accurate communication in the business world.

Dan frequently sees writing errors in magazine and newspaper ads and on websites. He wonders how readers (potential customers in the case of ads) regard these mistakes. Do they reflect on the quality of the products and services of a business? Can a business afford to take the chance that its customers, both current and potential, might consider taking their business elsewhere if it cannot produce ads that are at least written correctly?

Dan’s experience and attention to detail can make THE difference in how your customers “read” your business. Don’t wait another day to enhance your company’s image and build your business.
