Crossways Page Proofs

[jacey]

I've had my head down working my way through five hundred and thirty six pages of page proofs for the upcoming novel, Crossways. My good friend and cinebuddy, H, is also reading the page proofs because she's brilliant at finding typos. This afternoon she sent me the corrections for the first 300 pages. I expected we'd have some overlap, but there are hardly any typos that we both spotted, yet we each found a few. (Maybe only five or six per chapter - sometimes fewer.) I'm combining them into one list now.

This leads me to wonder how individual brains work when it comes to spotting typos.

Hell, if I knew that, I probably wouldn't make the typos in the first place.

Have a picture.

I rarely spot typos when I'm actively reading a story, but when I'm just scanning the text I'll see them.
