"Unfortunately, I've found that even the traditional publishing houses aren't being as careful with punctuation and grammar as they used to be. I don't often write to an author and tell him/her about errors I've found in a book--unless I know the author personally. Usually I just stop reading if I find too many mistakes, because it takes me out of the story (or the message in the case of nonfiction). I hope your suggestion to the author helps him to see the need for high-quality editing and proofreading. (And Christian Editor Connection is an excellent way to find established, professional freelance editors and proofreaders!)"
