All great comments. If I can parrot one, the preparation of any book for publication in any medium is vital. I self publish my own books under my own imprint - Crying Cougar Press. I just uploaded the cover and text of the fourth book in a Y/A fantasy series at Lightning Source. That was the end of an eight month process with professional editors, illustrators, and book designers. It cost around five grand to prepare the book, but it is a masterpiece, just like the big boys put out.
It better be, because I am staring up at the top of a very tall mountain, with thousands of pitfalls along the way, and the quickest way to end that climb is to print or upload a book full of errors. People will not read past one page that contains writing errors, and they will never look at your prose again.
Now go make your book the best it can be - did I just say that? (Dr. Laura???)
