Type This

Actually the title is a misprint. It should read 'Typo This'.

We say that becuase we received an email from Amazon this weekend listing about a dozen typos....in To Defend the Earth. That novel was published in 2011.

We edited the fuck out of TDTE, yo. Then we went and hired one of Amazon's editors to edit it. That was like a thousand quid, mate. After that we went back through the MS and found at least 15 typos the Amazon editor hadn't caught and re-re-edited. Even then, when re-re-re-editing the final proof we found typos.

And still typos.

These typos were all reader reported. We like that idea a lot and we like this system. We'll get to those typos this week. One simply has to download the MS, make the corrections and then re-upload the MS-in Word.

If there's a way to keep every last typo out of your MS, I don't know what it is.

Any reader(s) commenting below with, 'Well have you tried....' get's permanently banned. The answer to that question is yes, yes I have.

By the way, To Defend the Earth is about alien invasion, lots of dog fights, tank battles, and two seriously modified American aircraft carriers. Two words, 'nuclear fuckin weapons'. I'll send an autographed copy to the first person who get's that reference in the comments section.
