8. I think it's more that it's expensive

… to be an author and more and more, I think people think they can write, have their friends and family act as “proofreaders” when they barely know how to spell themselves, and it’s no longer necessary to find a publishing house to take you on and do the behind-the-scenes work (proofing, editing, marketing, etc.) so they throw caution to the wind and just put stuff out there.

But never before have I seen errors of any kind from this author. It’s weird.

I HIGHLY recommend her otherwise, though. Maybe her subject matter just disturbed her, too, and things snuck through.
