Tell me I am reading this post wrong.
Are you saying that you are charging $15.99 for a book that hasn't been proofread?
Out of kindness and because I have nothing to do for an hour, I will go look at your sample on Smashwords.
I looked at your sample.
Do I give you my opinion here or in private?
Your book has potential. You paint wonderful pictures with your words. The biggest problem I had was a sense of disjointedness between paragraphs.
It looks like a fairly decent first draft.
For a 672 page book, I don't think you will find anyone willing to trade proofreading for formatting.
I was reading with my critical eye, so I would be looking at an hour per 10 pages.
