For example, take you're/your, then/than. But why does it really matter? 1) Immersion: Readers lose focus if distracted by typographical errors. 2) Professionalism: You get one chance to make a first impression. How will reviewers perceive your book if hasn't been polished before publication? 3) Efficiency: Imagine receiving a critical review of your book's editorial quality. Now, instead of focusing on marketing and selling, you'll invest more time and money in reediting and reformatting services. Ready to learn more about CreateSpace's editorial services?
