Found Spelling Errors in Printed Books by Mandy Rosko

And I don’t think it needs much explaining that the printed book in question is my own


 


God, it was almost enough to drive me to drink. The first one I spotted was just a tiny one, one so small and was missed by a couple of different beta readers that, although annoyed with myself, I was somewhat okay with it and was willing to wait a bit before fixing it. After all I’ve seen tiny errors in books printed by big publishers.


Then the other error was found. And it wasn’t a small spelling mistake. It was a whole sentence that was in there. The sort where you could tell I was going off on one thought and then went on another in a way that made no grammatical sense.


 


And it was on the second page.


 


Right, even I need to let that sink in. It was on the 2ND PAGE!! GAH!!


 


So mad at myself, and the worst part about it was that it looked familiar. I’m pretty sure one of the ladies who helped to beta read it pointed the error out. I’d thought I’d removed it, but I guess I didn’t and got stuck with one of my slip ups
