Book 5, 2024: Every Man for Himself and God Against All - Werner Herzog. Enjoyable autobiography from the filmmaker and artist. Obviously you read it in his wonderful voice. Full f terrific lines. Takes in his childhood, just-do-it attitude to his work, and travels. @bookstodon

I really don’t mean to be a snob about indie and self-publishing but professional editing makes an immense difference and I can feel its absence within about three pages. Editors at the big 5 are very good at their jobs. 🫣 @bookstodon

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @jillrhudy @bookstodon Copy editor here. We work for money. You wouldn’t expect unemployed plumbers or mechanics to work for free so why would you expect experienced editorial staff to do so? (This probably comes across as combative but it is not meant to be so; merely curious.)

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @jillrhudy @bookstodon Understood. I’ll delete my response in case it all starts to kick off 🙄
