I published my first ebook today! Hooray!
After going through it several times, reviewing, editing, chopping and changing, I finally thought I was happy with it. So I uploaded it to Smashwords, worked first time. Great! Cloud nine the whole morning.
Then I decided to try the epub version on my beloved Sony 505. And I spotted a grammatical error. And something I could have written better. And it continues.
Does anyone have this happen to them? How do you deal with it?
I don't have much outside of family to proof-read (and we all know how biased they can be), and my friend's don't know I write, it seems kind of awkward. I can't just suddenly turn round and say, 'hey I've been writing, actually a character's based on you (but they're horrible and nasty - not like you at all, honest
) would you like to preview it?'
How often would people upload a revised version? At this early stage, I figure I could just revise it and learn from the experience.
I would link to it, but like I said, there's a few...
...typo's/grammar errors. It
is my first story since, well, school, too.
and now I'm all embarrassed again
