ANYWAYS if anyone needs a line editor or a proofreader, I am very good. I need work. I want to keep doing what I'm good at and what I enjoy doing and not have to find some BS job that will make me use AI.
Because fuck AI.

anyway- if there's a lesson here, it's "get a sensitivity proofreader when covering subjects like animal cruelty and bigotry for a project like this", since it seems like the other contributors were taken off-guard by that two-page spread as well.

A lot of the work that Karen does editing Designers & Dragons makes me think, "Gosh, I'm glad she's making my writing sound better."
Some of it makes me say, "Jesus Christ, I'm glad she caught that and it didn't go into print."
So, yeah, hire her as an editor or proofreader!

Even if that's an honest typo, you'd think an editor or proofreader would've caught that.

That's why you get a proofreader/editor/translator to look over the text.

I'm not saying my own book is error-free, cos that's asking for trouble, but I will say that my editor and the proofreader she hired were both pretty meticulous. (Also, the 2 books these examples are from are with BIG publishers, which I'm not.)

because i used to be an editor and proofreader, i cannot read literature without constantly spotting little mistakes in books I read.
there's a tendency for a single error that i noticed in transfem literature that appeared in every author i read last month:
