So I thought a Vlog would be fun this time around. Today we’re going to address proofs, and the importance of ordering them by comparing the proof copy of I Loved You First versus the copy actually on the market.

A Recap:

Always check for typos. Whether it’s the inner works or the  cover, be sure to proofread.

• Assess the cover.
• Is everything in the proper place?
• Are there any glitchy items?
• Is the wording correct?
• Is it aesthetically pleasing?
• Front matter
• Are the pages in the proper place?
• Title page in the front?
• Do you have enough blank pages?
• Proofing (after all, it is called the proof copy)
• Are the pages numbers in the proper place?
• Did you suppress the pages number on the chapter pages?
• Read through for typos, grammatical errors, etc.
• Cost assessment: Is it cheaper to order a proof copy for editing rather than print out the manuscript?
• Do you have any funky pages with widows, orphans, or other oddities?
