Then again, a quick look at the aforementioned SlushPileHell.com makes me think it *may* not be worth the grief!! I'll think about it, if I ever get around to retiring. If I'm not too busy reading my TBR list because that's a better read than the slush pile would be.

I am not an editor by any stretch of the imagination but I could do better than many of the books I have tried to read.
I tried my hand at proofreading. One book I ran across had an average of 3 errors per sentence. (The author had asked me to look and let him know why he was not selling.)
Another was better, it only had one error for every 3 paragraphs. But his book had other problems too.
