Leave it to the Pros
The other day I uploaded one of my books on amazon and looked through it. I noticed typos and spelling errors. Immediately I took the book off amazon and sent it to a professional proofreader. I then asked myself why do typos and errors always pop up once my books are published? I always go through them line by line reading each word from front to back and never find errors until after the book has been published. To help ease my mind, I think about all the commercial successful authors who revise and edit their stories many times only to find typos. But I feel kinda depressed again when I think about the editing teams they have at their disposal. I, on the other hand don't have such luxury. Therefore, a starving writer like myself have to shelve out a bit of cash to get my books edited and proofread. In the end everything is worth it. If you are a self-published or new author, I suggest you to leave the editing to the pros after you have went through the manuscript yourself checking for errors. The money you spend may be well worth it in the long run.
