Fixed.<br /><br />But it's worth noting that you're the first person to notice or mention this, and even mainstream books typically go to print with 7% or more copyediting errors. Still, the point of this post was about that other kind of editing - more substantive.April L.

My readers paid for her (<a href="http://www.wordwebbing.com/" rel="nofollow">Annetta Ribken</a>, she's fabulous), and my well-edited book will be out in a couple of months.MeiLin Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590059336785844546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782713127824478176.post-24273693862895321092010-07-12T07:24:44.817-07:002010-07-12T07:24:44.817-07:00Cogent post!
