I have not been on the list for awhile. So I do not know of the jiffy
proofing scandal.
But I hope my bringing up this issue with my submitted book may be helpful.
I think if someone could post Carrie's email, I will write her, or whoever
you think is best to let know.
I have revised this scanned book to now include the omitted page and would
like to get the earlier submission released so I may re-submit the better
copy.
I will try and be better about checking it better before submitting next
time. I'm a bit embarrassed!
Somehow 2 pages must have stuck together and when I checked it before, I
thought all was good. Oops!
I would hate to have this book with the very last page of a really good
novel missing. When I was reading it this morning, it happened to me. No
fun, for any reader!!
Thanks.
Rik

If you will remember the jiffy proofing scandal, Nicholas Wilcox was one of
the two people who checked out books and then uploaded them in less than
five minutes, obviously not bothering to work on them at all. He recently
checked out one of my submissions and this time took a few days to upload
it. I hope that means that he has learned his lesson and is now actually
proofreading rather than just downloading and uploading, but having a book
out for several days does not mean that any work is necessarily being done
on it and based on his past behavior I don't trust him. Since I preproof my
submissions, though, I knew of no way to check on him. Now we have a way.
Alert Carrie and then let it go. If he passes this book then we will know
that he is not bothering to read it.
