I am a professional author btw.....and yes, I rely heavily on my editor for spelling and grammar corrections.
What I have done, which could be an example to some aspiring artists, is release a free version of my work via bittorent. It lacks the illustration and foot notes. The artwork is excellent, so a portion of those who read my book for FREE will buy a hard copy of my work. Giving away my work has been free advertising and I believe I have sold more copies because I give my work away for free. I am by no means wealthy, but that is how you get your name out there.
Sometimes these ideas are counter intuitive, but there are ways to use them to come out on top.
