The dodgy internet fiend has struck again! I posted the exact same reply as Jay (literally it was almost word for word) but alas it did not send through.

I think the best way to proofread a story is to imagine your story as a film or being read on YouTube. Imagining a film helps you determine whether your dialogue flows realistically and if your action scenes are well described. Imagining your story as a Creepypasta reading (specifically if you were reading it) helps you iron out any other mistakes because you are reading it with emphasis and for fun rather than just reading to check for mistakes which can be a bit daunting and monotonous.

Anyway that's just how I do it. Sometimes you will miss mistakes, there's not much you can do about it. That's just a silly tool I use to help proofread my story.
