Yes, as an author, part of your job is to proofread your work. If this author published the work before it was actually ready, than I have zero sympathy for the author respective of the comments - next time publish quality work rather than blaming the readers. And yes, I know how hard it is to edit a publication, knowing several published writers - all of whom understand that editing is time consuming and much work, but simply part of the process in turning quality work.
- ChrisSD 7y agoFirstly the author isn't blaming readers, they're blaming Amazon. Secondly, if a typo is found in your work would you expect it to immediately be pulled from sale? What if there was no typo at all and the reader was mistaken? Is it fair to pull it from sale until the non-mistake is "resolved"? Can you not see how this is open to abuse?
- lscotte 7y agoSure, but again - it's the same argument - the author should have taken enough pride in the manuscript to produce quality work to begin with. That's the root cause that put the author in this position.
- gbear605 7y agoIn this case, the work was quality and the reader was wrong. But there’s no way for the author to respond with that.
