Currently reading the Hunter series. Enjoying it, but all the grammatical and word errors are driving me crazy. Doesn't anyone proofread for you? I would be happy to. --Chris Robertson, chris@goldgryph.com

Which book?
Also, how are you reading? Recent buy? Re-read of an older series? Reading through KU, but downloaded a long time ago?
Yes I have a proofreader, but most of series 4 and before was without one. The early couple of series have been re-edited, but not since my own proofing skills improved a lot.
All the books get any errors flagged by Amazon fixed. So if you highlight some, and they notify me, they will get fixed. But you have to manually update them after they get updated.
The other problem is after updating, apparently KU never gives you the updated version, only the version you downloaded the first time. So anyone re-reading one of the early series may never see the updated versions. Amazon won't say why they do that.
If I receive notifications of goofs, I do fix them. On Facebook, I put a thread in my universe group and page for each new book in case I did miss something. And I can always be sent anything privately though Facebook Messenger. All I need is the book, a short search term, and the suggested fix.

Thank you so much for your response, I absolutely love your book so far. I've listened to the entire Hunter Legacy and space Mage Chronicle book and I'm trying to read a destiny but I'm not big on reading anymore so I've had a hard time doing so but I love your books. Is there anyway I could email you or something directly rather than this because it will only let me post if I ask the question?
