Comment on Recommended Editors, Proof Readers, Layout and Cover Artists by Val

Hi Ondiswa, this is the difference between proof readers and editors.

Copy-editor

Works largely in the realm of books and journals. Reads an author’s text and corrects the grammar, spelling, sentence structure, logical sequencing. But also checks the text for factual accuracy, or at least factual discrepancies. Finally, applies a veneer of consistency throughout the text.

Proofreader

After copy-editing or subediting, the text goes to a designer or a typesetter to be laid out into pages. Once laid out, or typeset, the text (with or without illustrations) has to be proofread (usually against the edited text or a previous typeset version) to remove errors. This is the work of a proofreader, not a copy-editor.

Hi Val, I have to congratulate you on an excellent product. I am now Kindle Published thanks to following the steps in your eBook. In fact I was so impressed with your product that I have recently written a review of it on my blog.

The fact that you’re now offering to edit the products of others and create Kindle eBooks for them means that everyone now has the chance to become Kindle Published, and that is simply fantastic.

You’ve created a firstclass product and backed it up with an exceptional service.

Congratulations Val, and thanks again.

Barry

Hi
I am a published author or Winter Dogs;Living with Huskies as Pet Dogs. My publisher is from the states and my book is available at barnes&noble, kalahari.net, amazon.com and petspublications.co.za but I am struggeling getting it into stores in S.A. seeing that the pet section is very small as well. I am also currently working on my second book and would like to do a seminar on writing etc. Anything like this that I could attend?
