These are the types of things that people pay me to find and fix, yet
here
in a professional journal about commercial writing and editing I'm being
asked to pay $6.95 an issue for the most bush-league desktop publishing
I've seen outside amateur newsletters for little nonprofit clubs. The
introductory material, market info section, and one article I have read
so
far are all excellent in terms of writing clarity, style, and content;
but
I'm so IRRITATED by the typos that I'm reluctant to read any further. On
first browse I had considered springing for a subscription; now I'm
questioning the magazine's worth.
Write a letter to the managing editor and, if there's a second issue,
your letter should be in there!
