I have finished the final proof of the book before it goes to the printer. Then I get one copy back to proof again. I was told yesterday that some authors have said that they will vomit if they have to read their text one more time. No vomiting here - but very severe stomach cramps :-) AND every time I do proof, I find: oops!
I also have a copy of the front and back covers and am EXTREMELY happy. I'm hoping to post it this week.
In the meanwhile, I am continuing with what Brad @ Turning Points emailed as Iwent through the process of publishing. I hope that it will clear the path for some of you who are thinking that the whole thing is overwhelming. Truly, it's a very steep learning curve but having the right people to work with, lessens the grade considerably.
FROM BRAD:
Anyway,
the key thing for now is for you to proofread the PDF to confirm the text is
intact, or send me a list of the corrections to make. The best way is to
assemble a single list of corrections and send it in an email. The most
efficient way to identify a correction is with the page number, original text,
replacement text. E.g. Page 34, change “the quick brown fox was eating
pheasant” to “the lazy brown dog, after eating pheasant, had a coffee”.
