Already twice today my computer has interrupted my blog-post-writing with a computer brain fart instantly erasing everything I had written and was unable to save. It reduced the essay to nothing but a title twice. So, have already written my 500 words twice today, I settled on a simpler, shorter post. Page Publishing sent me back the proofs of my novel Magical Miss Morgan again. Once again they made new proof-reading errors that changed something so that I have to go to the trouble of changing it back. It isn’t that the chimpanzees have valid improvements to show me and I am just being Grumpy Mike about changing. They are making silly omission errors and showing me sentences that don’t make sense any more.
Page Publishing was a big mistake. But since I have already paid them and am close to getting published, I will push forward rather than hiring a lawyer to sue them.
Don’t you have any control over the finished work or is it publish it our way or not at all ?
I get the final say on content and completed draft, but I have to keep rereading the thing to see what new changes they make. They are only changing words here and there and verb tenses, but they are making a lot of changes erroneously that I have to put right again. They are not editing, only proofreading, and not doing it correctly.
