Hi Gwen! In answer to your first question, initially people could scan and proofread their own books. However, I think the policy of having someone else proofread is a good one. I sometimes tend to be a contextual reader. I believe having someone else proofread allows for an opportunity to catch things I did not. *smile* My only negative experience with this policy has been when a proofreader relied on spell check and changed spellings of proper names and some terms that were intended to be spelled as they were. Blessings.

I'm wondering if there are people who have no trouble submitting books their books are always excepted no matter what. Why couldn't they be allowed to scan and proof their own books if they so desired? Question 2: Why can't a scanner at least be allowed to clear their book lists so they can start over with no books pending? Thanks Gwen No virus found in this incoming message.
