In the 1980s, I proofread for Macmillan, getting paid by the page. Two independent proofreaders would read each book. That was all cut back in the 1990s. <br /><br />Most houses now expect authors to supply their own proofreading and indexing. Authors often cannot afford that and try to proof it themselves, or get a friend to do it. <br /><br />I have no idea if that's what happened with Stout's book, but it's usually the case these days. It's more evidence of how little time and resources are invested in quality writing these days. laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.com
