The more eyes...

[sleigh]

I've had more eyes than usual on the submission manuscript for A MAGIC OF NIGHTFALL than usual, and it's been interesting that the mistakes people are catching have little correlation. Denise caught several misspellings and little errors; Justin (another of my reader) gave me a long list of errors and corrections I'm currently going through, and with a few exceptions, he's finding different errors than those Denise gave me.

Different readers, different attention to different details.

Interesting...

"Different readers, different attention to different details."

This is why you need A LOT of them.

It is an interesting phenomenon. I work in a group of editors and when one of us distributes some internal project for all of us to look at, although we do find some of the same problems, more often than not we each also find things that the others haven't noticed.
