It may just be that he did not have a good editor or that he assumed that once a book was edited, it did not need proofreading. These are common mistakes from first-time authors.

This decision is because of the need for editing and formatting. I am always dismayed to find the author has little regard for these services, evidenced by the author's unwillingness to ask others for help with the clean up of proofreading oversights or errors as well as formatting issues. Especially when deciding to issue the work in print. I consider proofreading and similar issues to be "turbulence" - this turbulence disrupts my pleasure of reading the story.<br /><br />"Even I" cannot proofread my own work.ellen_levickishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621360548604283010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-19140451053109561882018-07-19T09:26:02.509-04:002018-07-19T09:26:02.509-04:00Thanks for stopping by Bob!Thanks for stopping by Bob!Laura at Library of Clean Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252118683176350398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-1156807985020435812018-07-18T17:30:09.630-04:002018-07-18T17:30:09.630-04:00I don't typically read a lot of mysteries, but...I don't typically read a lot of mysteries, but this sounds really interesting and I'm excited to hear more about it!
