Yes, proofreading is so ...You are right about that!<br />Yes, proofreading is so important; everybody makes typos and other errors, and it is nearly impossible to find each and everyone of one's own mistakes. Maybe a lot of people don't even realise the mistakes, or if they do, they aren't bothered at all, and I am too picky and need to change my attitude.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-7303454796499864192013-01-21T11:42:58.698+01:002013-01-21T11:42:58.698+01:00Hello Noel, thank you for stopping by!

Submissions are supposed to be in digital form (disc or email) not in paper printouts, which makes proofreading more problematic. It also puts the onus on the writer, not the publisher, if there are any mistakes. And no matter how careful a writer you are, there are bound to be some glitches. Which is why the position of proofreader was invented in the first place. <br /><br />But with the demise of the printed word being glumly predicted daily, I suppose the wonder is that we get any books in actual book form at all any more, with or without errors!Canadian Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995693884248628958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-57609299025544565212013-01-19T19:18:33.267+01:002013-01-19T19:18:33.267+01:00Hey there, stopping by from the Hop!

In the 1990s, I worked at a publishing and printing company and did a lot of proofreading there; it has never left me and I simply can not NOT see a typo or other error, which sometimes makes reading less entertaining than it should be!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-52992366737865593422013-01-17T19:35:08.910+01:002013-01-17T19:35:08.910+01:00I agree with H...you would be a great proofreader,...I agree with H...you would be a great proofreader, and editor, and anything related to books.
