Usually, the editors are not supposed to teach you the language you are writing in - tenses, articles, incorrect syntax, change of speech, etc. But yes, Cyberwit.net did print this book, so I am assuming they found no problems with it, in case they read it at all. And if the editor's have to correct your language use to that large an extent, then, as I mention, you have chosen the wrong medium to write your novel in. <br />If you read the book you will see what I mean. When I read/review a book, primarily I am reading an author's work, not a publishing house's.<br />Thanks so much for reading, Seeta.

I wonder if the Author was so engulfed by the philosophy that he wanted to bring in that he ignored the finer detail that is required to go into a book. About the grammar, I think the publishing house is equally at fault, a lot of those issues you have mentioned could have been handled during editing right? - I guess you would know better about that :)Seetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194083543016188498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960082414020218571.post-48635866044080556572014-05-03T11:28:34.347+02:002014-05-03T11:28:34.347+02:00I agree with you, Beloo.
