CreateSpace strongly
advises its authors to order a proof copy before they publish. I strongly advise this as well.
Although I had been over
my manuscript many times either on screen or with hard copy, reading it in real
book form is a very different experience.
I won’t try to describe it, because I can’t. Just take my word. The photo above is just the beginning
of items I found that I wanted to change, tweak, say better, say differently, add,
delete, checking for extra spaces, etc.
It is hard tedious work. But work that will make the book better
as a result. I am painstakingly going through each page, noting changes with
yellow stickies, and then after twenty or thirty pages, I make the edits in the
document. I have about a hundred
pages yet to go, so excuse me while I get back to editing the proof copy.
