Tanya, I love your attitude! And I’m so glad your friend alerted you to the typo. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner…I hope you’ve got lots planned to promote it and that you have fun with it.

Luckily with KDP, I was able to revise and upload my manuscript once more. I also took it as a positive and told myself, “What’s a first edition without a typo?” Hopefully, I can join the great list of classic books with typos. Those who purchased the book with a typo are now the lucky ones with the special copy.

🙂 Thanks Peggy! I am still super thankful for your particular pair of eyeballs.

This is SO TRUE.
Thanks for a good article!

I’m not a perfectionist but I try to do my writing as best as I can. Thank you for this write-up.

Wow, that’s an intense punishment! That reminds me of a proofreader job I once had where they paid us $5 for every typo we found (which made finding them enjoyable). I like your reasonable approach, Sonia!
