I just resubmitted my novella with apostrophe errors changed, by the way! Thanks again. - David |
I wouldn't, but I can't say whether someone else might. You only get one chance to make a first impression in an incredibly competitive market. There are a lot of other books out there that have been competently edited before publishing along with being terrific stories.
