I have a great love for the abundance of raw text available on the internet, and a firm awareness that even major publishing houses have been cutting back on editing services--but there's a difference between "any English professor could find dozens of errors in this book" and "POV and verb tense both change twice on the opening page; main character's name is spelled three different ways in the first chapter; one paragraph has seven sets of ellipses; author spells 'illegal' as 'illeagle'."
