How can I avoid typos during the editing process? Ironically, I make more of them when I edit than when I write a first draft.

Answer 1

You probably cannot avoid at least some typos.

What you can do after completing your editing process is to read the entire writing from last sentence to first sentence. Reading that way will allow you to see more clearly any typos rather than to revise for meaning. See if this works for you as it does for many writers.
