However, I've read ARCs where a character's name showed up where another character's name should have been, and I just assumed it would be corrected by publication. So, I'm guessing I would be able to do that even with a name with no connection to the story. And, yes, an errata sheet would be perfect.<br />Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-4616101106448497192017-09-12T14:04:56.808-04:002017-09-12T14:04:56.808-04:00Exactly, Earl!

I read the very last sentence, then the one before that, then the one before that, etc., all the way back to the beginning. It's tedious, laborious, time-consuming, and boring, but it's the best way I know to catch those stupid spelling, punctuation, and other errors. I read what I wrote, not what I thought I wrote, and I don't get caught up in the story flow and skim over stuff I've already read a jillion times.Earl Staggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349667172813175960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-12032046665816623722017-09-12T11:16:48.407-04:002017-09-12T11:16:48.407-04:008th grade.
