I just had to post this here, because never were truer words said--Proof readers are essential.
Kathleen Yoshida, my editor, and I recently discussed this very topic after reading a number of books written by big name authors like Nicholas Sparks, Stephen King, etc. One would think that publishing houses for these authors would be particularly careful with grammar and punctuation given the amount of money invested in these books. But, these mistakes happen often enough that I wonder what is going on. If these were indie published authors, I could accept the mistakes to a certain degree. But from big names? Um...why?
Take a read here.
