RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 06/22/18> The hardest part of steemit.com for me is…

Proofreading your own work is very difficult! For me, typos usually jump out at me AFTER I press the "post" button so I have to edit (and often re-edit.) I don't mind people pointing out my errors at all.

Well we share the same boat on edit and re-edit after hitting the "post" button that's for sure. How do you go about it with the books that you publish, I am thinking that you have to have professional proofreaders that handle that for you, is that correct?

Back in the days when my Facebook author page was getting great engagement (2009-2015/pre-Steemit) I would use volunteer beta-readers to weed through most typos and readability issues and then it would go on to an editor. I would offer the beta readers a free autographed book or something like that in return for their services.
