As a freelance editor and designer, those would be completely unacceptable to me. I would address them now, and double check your contract for when you are supposed to notify them of errors. Also, since your book is fiction (all text, no charts, pictures, etc.), your page count should be lower in the long run. I'm assuming that your original page count of 325 pages is based on the industry standard of 250 words per page or the equivalent of Times New Roman, 12 point font, double spaced, 1 inch margins. If so, and your 6x9 book is properly formatted (readable font but not too big), you should have about a 10% reduction in your manuscript page count. Just some things to think about. By the way, I found your post via LinkedIn.

Those are so fundamental that it would cause me to worry about the more subtle things. I would guess that if they made that kind of mistake, there are many, many more they missed.<br /><br />Just my thoughts, good luck!gboasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195257490127505960noreply@blogger.com
