Isn't it just amazing meeting a famous person like her and have the same date of birth? and here on the screen, I share her Curriculum Vitae.

" Selamat malam,  Bu Aam.  Blogger hebat yg menemani saya malam ini.  Selamat malam juga Bpk/Ibu semua,  para blogger yg keren.

 Sebenarnya,  saya juga baru dlm menulis buku.  Terutama mulai produktif sejak mengenal Om Jay dan kegiatan belajar menulis melalui WA sprti ini."

    Her opening tonight gave a shiver to all the participants. Beauty and Brain are what I can conclude of her.  

    Bapak Ibu please click on my Instagram link, Instagram Link Since I made the presentation slide today using CANVA and shared it on my Instagram, Please open it and don't forget to follow. Thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen tonight's main focus of discussion was on the four of manuscript completeness. The first one is FOREWORD. VS PREFACE

While Foreword is written by the author, the Preface is supposedly written by other people ( Publisher, Senior, Expert. The second one is TABLE OF CONTENT

    Table of content is also known as the outline of a book, the benefit of writing this TOC is to simplify the process of writing a book, Whereas, you can find ideas to expand and write from the TOC. Also, it will make the writer focus on what will be explained in the book.

    Her experience in writing a book with Professor Eko Indrajit was, she made her OUTLINE right after the WAG class is over, she sent them right away to prof. Eko and it was a three-chapter outline content of about 60 pages. The book title was "Belajar Semudah Klik"

    Here are her tips on How to generate a TOC using Microsoft Word. The key to generating lies on HEADING 1 and HEADING 2

    To write Chapter Title use Heading 1 and Subchapter use Heading 2. Use the Reference tab, click on Table of contents. We can also change the level and style from the TOC by clicking the custom TOC.

    The third one from manuscript completeness is the SYNOPSIS, this part is the resume or the summary of the whole story in the book you are writing. To send it to the publisher is when the book is in the review process by the publisher. Moreover, sometimes the author as for professor Eko asked the writer to present the synopsis that will be a shock when you do not really master the story and references.

    The four-part of it is BLURB. a blurb is different from the synopsis. BLURB is the most interesting part of a book. it is presented in interesting lines of some parts written in the book. Blurb is signaled with a question that invites the reader's curiosity. Here are some samples for BLURB.

    And come to the last part of the completeness. is THE AUTHOR'S PROFILE. in this part writers or authors need to write a self resume and to make sure putting the most relevant experience to which the content of the book is purposed or titled. It means that writers do not have to write every experience or achievement, just put ones that are relatedly connected to the book. And never forget to put Contact Number, so the publisher will be easier to contact the writer.

    Back with me Phia your host, after a long and clear explanation from our speaker today, Wrapping up the show, I emphasized that there are 4 main parts to be complete in writing a book. The 4 parts are compulsory. In writing a book or in doing a process the most important things are to have a thorough outline, holistic completeness, and a great fighting spirit to finish. I will see you again soon at our next show.

    Remember all is not done before it is complete.!

CHECK IT WITH PROOFREADING

Resume     : 15th ( Ke-15)

Date          : Friday, August 13 th 2021

Speaker     : Susanto S.Pd

Moderator : MAesaroh.,M.Pd

Topic         : "Proofreading Sebelum Menerbitkan Tulisan "

Never Risk disrupting your Audience in taking the messages from your articles, Proofread again.

Ms.Phia

Tonight the 15th meeting exactly on Friday The 13th. Have you ever heard a story about Friday the 13th before ?. If you have not maybe you remember a horror movie about Freddy Krueger ? . Yes. The monster man that always alive only on Friday the 13th. Spooky start huh? haha sorry. Can't help it. It was just a story but many Americans believe it was a legend.

Finally, after two whole weeks without Bu May on the screen felt rather lonely for me. And tonight she was the moderator, she opened the class with a hello and her typical words of prayers, Maesaroh, M.Pd. The Millenial Blogger.

Our class tonight was lead by the moderator and a great speaker named Bapak Susanto, S.Pd. or commonly called Pak D. With an interesting topic Proofreading. You know what? I am a proofreader myself for international Journals also articles in English.

Pak D Opening statement was quite intriguing too, he said that the last speaker's" discussion, from which he took consent, that many of the resumes wrote from, self-edit, editing after writing the article and must not edit while writing. Those sentences will be a bit different from what he explained today. 

publish your book.

 Maybe you would like to check on Pak D's Facebook for more info on him Pak D Facebook also you might need to check his blog on the link www.blogsusanto.com

Regardless of what Pak D informed us, that he is not a professional proofreader, he showed us the proof itself that he has been doing this proofreading job since his friend asked him to do so. Here are some of his proofread books.

1. Kunci Sukses Menjadi Moderator Online (Aam Nurhasanah), Desember 2020.

2. Patidusa Pujangga Wiyata, Antologi Puisi Nusantara Bergema (Aam Nurhanasa, dkk), Januari 2021.

3. Bait-bait Kerinduan, Antologi Puisi Ungkapan Rasa Rindu (Rofiana, S.Pd., dkk), Maret 2021, Januari 2021.

4. Haru Biru Perjalananku, Catatan Perjalanan Tugas Kepala Sekolah Daerah Terpencil dan Satu Atap (“Ambu” Tini Sumartini), Maret 2021.

5. Merajut Goresan Tinta Berbuah Karya (Herni Sunarya Banah, S.Pd.), Maret 2021.

6. Purwakarya Literasi, antologi peserta Gel 18 (2021)

7. Membongkar Rahasia Menulis ala Guru Blogger (Bersama Bu Noralia Puspa Yunita dkk), Juli 2021

Proofreading or sometimes called test-reading is rereading a piece of writing, the goal is to check whether there are errors in the text. ( Susanto,2021)

      I joined Pak D's class also with the same topic earlier, with a different group. And I really look up to learn more with him. Last time I learnt many things about editing and proofreading. 

    Pak D clarified that this proofreading step has to be done at the end of every writing, you don't want to be stuck in the middle (sounds like a song  𝆕𝆔, naa). I come around to the idea of ending the articles before publishing by proofreading, since every proofreading job I have been getting always after the journals or articles finished like 99%. 

    A proofreading job is basically to check on mistaken punctuations, spelling, consistency in the name using, and also word beheading. As I will have to add based on my personal experiences, proofreading is also checking on the use of suitable diction. The choice of words or phrases should also be the object of a proofreading job.

    Exactly to what Pak D pointed, the difference between editing and proofreading is that in proofreading, you are not only focused on highlighting the linguistics part but also have to focused on the substances or the content of the article, back to the use of the suitable phrase, words, and even the sentence pattern. Adding in English Proofreading you need to also focus on the structure and most common expressions.

 Here is a video of proofreading samples he shared 

WAG Pak D Susanto

Before publishing, we take a look at the preview and if there is an error, on the draft we press the CTRL + F key and then carry out the writing process as in the video

A simple example of proofreading:

Original text

Making fiction stories is a little different from non-fiction stories. But non-fiction stories can be delivered in a fictional style to make it more interesting. Of course as long as it does not conflict with the rules for writing non-fiction works that have been determined, such as scientific papers, research reports, and the like.

Repair Text

Making fiction stories is a little different from non-fiction stories. However, non-fiction stories can be told in a fictional style to make it more interesting. Of course as long as it does not conflict with the rules for writing non-fiction works that have been determined, such as scientific papers, research reports, and the like.

In KBBI:

 non (adv) not; not: off; non-rice

 Commas are used before conjunctions, such as but, but, and whereas, in compound sentences (equivalent). For example: I want to buy a camera, but I don't have enough money. It's not mine, it's my father's

    Pak D uses online tools to help with his proofreading job1. online puebi; 2. kbbi online  As for English Proofreading you can find many tools to check on the grammar also the suitable phrase. I personally use Grammarly.

Here are some tips from Pak D for a proofreading job :

How to do proofreading?

In tune with Mazmo's message.

1.  Spelling check. This spelling refers to KBBI, but there are some words that reflect the  publisher's style
2.   Beheading words referring to KBBI
3. Consistency of names and conditions
4.   Pay attention to chapter titles and numbering

     The skill to master as a proofreader is the ability to specify the most crucial problems of a sentence, for instance when you find a not well-structured sentence in a paragraph, you need to find and restructured the sentence without changing the points and the messages within. You are required to have a sharp eye and an excellent knowledge of the source language's rules, used in the article.

In the Q & A session, I was still curious to ask some matters related to changing sentence structure, so I asked two questions and was responded to clearly. I took Pak D's response as an interesting quote 

"Tentang kekhasan, jika kekhasan itu "menerjang" kaidah, ya harus diluruskan, bukan? "

I took question from Pak Ries quite interesting 

P10

N.saya Ries Muhammad Effendy dari SDN JATINEGARA KAUM 01 Jakarta timur 1. From Gel.19

1. Ketika swasunting biasanya kita sudah merasa bena dr dan sudah terbaik. Tapi ketika orang lain baca ternyata dari cara penulisan dan POEBI tulisan kita banyak salah. Untuk meringan kan para editor apa yang harus menjadi bekal bagi penulis ketika dia mau edit tulisannya? Terima kasih 

Pak D response was more interesting

 Itulah saya teringat lagu Bung RHOMA, kuman di seberang lautan tampak, Gajah di pelupuk mata tidak tampak.

Juga teringat ketika teman-teman nonton bola di tribun atau di televisi.

Bapak sebagai penulis adalah pemain bola yang menggiring bola ke gawang kadang tidak tahu di depan ada pemain yang hendak menjegal. Kami penonton di kejauhan tahu benar ke mana bola harus ditendang.

 Demikian pula menulis, jadi perlo orang lain untuk ikut membaca.

 Untuk meringan kan para editor apa yang harus menjadi bekal bagi penulis ketika dia mau edit tulisannya?

Pahami struktur kalimat, pahami PUEBI, buka KBBI jika ragu dengan kata-kata tertentu

 Mempelajari PUEBI yang tebal, kadang membosankan, 

So I add this video of Rhoma Irama Singing his famous song Ghibah, let's, dance people

Youtube 

    Restructuring a sentence does not have to change the message within, if it is too long or using too many compound sentences, cut makes it shorter so the sentence will be effective. As for finding the specialty in the writer's point, change it if it is structurally mistaken.

     Every writer needs to be a good proofreader since every publishing company also will eventually edit your writing, but they will not change the content, they do not have the right to change articles content. So, the writing itself should be the one to fix it, before it is published.
