Is this a screenshot of a Reddit post of a screenshot of a Twitter thread about people who want you to know they're involved in literature? I'm just checking. You guys see the same thing, right? This isn't some kind of software bug or dimensional rift?
I posted it but I don’t know what lemmy api is, and there’s no karma here. I’m just trying to get this community going and rn stealing post from Reddit is the easiest way.
Well sure but authors do still proofread, they don’t just hammer out a first draft and send that to their editor without reading it. And I was talking more about proofreading for story consistency, not spelling and grammar.

Man, I wish you were right. I find German books are particularly bad, where not even the editor will care to find the obvious spelling and grammar mistakes.
I made a comment on a post about life before smartphones that I can remember throwing a strop as a child because my parents would only let me take 7 hardback library books on a two week holiday. The struggle was real!

Fits right in with the “screenshots are not memes” memes flooding lemmy today.
Looks to me like some karma farmers figured out the Lemmy API

Well tbh Celeste is a writer not a reader.
It’s honestly pretty impressive she writes best selling books with her eyes closed and without ever proofreading them.
It’s not the author’s job to proofread. Editors do that.

Fair, I guess I should say authors with some self-respect will proofread their own work lol
I appreciate her username. It was my first question.
Good spot!
Having taken two round-trips by air recently, I can honestly say that my .epub reader got quite the workout!

Yeah I don't think any of that happened though.
