Re: A plea from me and no doubt other writers
Who should I blame for texts littered with poor spelling and grammar.
This seems to have become so much worse in the last decade. Some of the major UK publishers are particularly blameworthy.
Is it that the original manuscript is being accepted and handled electronically without any proof reading, beyond the author? Writers can be quite bad at proof reading as they have read the text so often that they know what they have written before they read it.
£25 for a book with a typo every five pages is not worth it. It makes you begin to doubt the opinions and content
