Who is responsible for errors?

Many authors misunderstand how the publishing industry works. They figure that just because a publisher is producing their book, that it absolves them from any responsibility for accuracy.

Nonsense!

It is your book - take ownership of it. When you sign off on the final copy, read every work and make sure it says what you want it to say, and that everything is accurate. Just because a proofer checked your manuscript, do not give away your responsibility to double and triple check.

In the end, you will be happier with the final product if you take proper ownership of it.
