Hi Gwen!
One thing I do is read every word of a scan before I submit it. It is a slow
process, but I have caught many scanning errors that way. That's also one of
the reasons why I proofread many more books than I scan. That too is what
makes are volunteer community so great. Some of us prefer to scan and some
of us prefer to proofread.
Blessings.

That makes sense on the first question Thanks.
I guess I just wish there were a way when you goof up and you know your
scans most likely won't make it if there would be a way you could reject
them yourself, clear your books so you could have a clean slate.
Thanks
Gwen

Hi Gwen,
As to the first question, it used to be that scanners could proofread,
(validate), as it used to be called), their own works. However, that was
changed because having a different proofreader can find mistakes that the
original scanner missed. Seeing with fresh eyes, in a manner of speaking. I
know that I have made mistakes in books I submitted that were caught by the
proofreader, so I think this is a good system.
Not sure I understand your second question, though.
Evan

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
