> What if they just "edit" the current book with 100% new contents? Or 50%? Where does editing end and writing begin?
What percentage are they suggesting changing here? Do you think it's 0.1% — 60 words out of 60,000? 0.5%, that would be 300. 1% would be 600 words, that seems unlikely.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoIrrelevant to my question. I am not asking anything specific to this particular change.
- mcphage 4y agoI agree you weren't asking anything specific about this change, but I wanted to make that fact clear. The publishers are talking about a change, the discussion here inspired you to ask where the threshold is, and you floated numbers like 50% or 100%, and I wanted to make clear that in the situation at hand, the change is closer to 1% or (most likely significantly) below.
