So far I have written about 35 Titles. It’s taken about 12 months. I’ve lost count of how many revisions I’ve made to these books or articles in that time. A lot. And the reason is, each time I reread them I find more errors. Now if you are serious about taking advantage of the amazing self publishing platforms out there you do need to publish clean error free copy. Any book on e-book publishing will stress this. Else it will create a bad impression, one of amateurism and will probably result in reduced interest in your other Titles. But the one thing I have learnt over and over again is that proofreading is actually quite a difficult task. Difficult in that it is actually very difficult to pick up all the errors in your copy. How many times have you read it, sworn it was clean with no errors, only to reread it a few months later and you find another whole batch? I know I have. I’ve been tempted to use professional proofreaders but I have been determined to bootstrap myself up the publishing ladder all on my own efforts. No proofreaders, no cover designers, no editors, no nothing, just me. So when I stumbled on this amazingly effective technique you might say that firstly I am in a position to appreciate its value, and secondly to put a price on it. I would have been prepared to pay a tidy sum for this secret which I could then use effectively for my entire career as a writer. There is going to be many many a time you are going to thank me for this, trust me!
