Reblogged from Starlighting Mama (Heather Shumacker):

The number of books published each year is boggling. Last year 200,000 new books were released. And that’s only counting traditional publishers. 400,000 self-published books were launched, too.

  1. Nothing alienates me more then reading a book that is full of errors. I came across that recently, but I still loved the book. All the same, the fact that it was published without amending the mistakes, which I easily found, made me view the writer as a bit amateurish. But we’re all just so excited to get our work out there! It’s hard to hold back until it’s really time.
