Hi guys - great to be part of the Skylight group - I'm looking forward to the publication of my novel Song of the Sea God by Skylight in October 2012.

Thanks for the invitation to the group.

Thanks, Daniel, for inviting me to this group.

Thank you for the invite. I would like to open a discussion concerning the editorial standards of a traditionally published versus a self-published title. I have found that when books are self published on Amazon or Amazon kindle, I am often (not always) disappointed in the lack of grammatical and structural standards and discipline. I often find mistakes such as missing words or spelling errors. This will give the self published a bad reputation and none of us want that to happen. My suggestion is to read a "preview" first or a sample to check out the author's expertise. Does anyone have any other experience with self-published standards versus traditionally published? I am all for either one and getting our art "out there." Kaye Linden

I think generally traditional publishers have a higher proofreading standard, but even their books sometimes carry typos and other errors. The few self-published books I've read have had quite a few errors, and their presentation isn't always up to scratch. Oddly I think there used to be less mistakes in books in the old days before computers when everything was typeset by hand!

Yes, I agree with Rupert that in the old days there were fewer errors. I wonder if this is because we processed the task one step at a time, with measured examination and joy in the actual edit. kaye
