Paul, Good luck on the book editing and proofreading. I used to proof articles back in the day, Now I'd just scan your book, make a copy, and sell it to the Chinese. For $1500 Easy-peasy transaction. On top of the $495 I charged you initially.

Personally, I would be just fine with it as you wrote it. After spending some time on here I am over the grammar and spelling thing. Everybody is on their dang cell phone and typing like a teenager. Not many here know grammar or spelling. Just saying.

I didn't write most of it. Dad was the author for the bulk of the book. To be honest, I would like to read it the way he wrote it. Somehow it gives you an idea of what they went through. That, and it makes me feel better at how I suck at the English languish.

There is a big difference between a proof reader and an editor, when it comes to writing a novel verses a how to book. One novel I wrote I sent 2 chapters to her, because she was supposed to be a hot shot editor. They not only correct the grammar and spelling, but they changed to what they are supposed to know a publisher will buy. Well, when I got the first chapter back, I didn't even recognize it as my story. She did the sample for nothing, but wanted $2800 to do the entire 24 chapters, and there were no guarantees a publisher would buy it.
I said, thank you, but no thank you.
