As we mentioned Wednesday, we’ve sent off Issue 9.2 to subscribers, no matter the spilled Laffy Taffy, tangled tape, or papercuts necessary to complete the shipping project. Keep an eye on the mailbox for your issue (or order it here if you forgot to renew your subscription!), and when it arrives and you open it with reverence, immediately grab a pen or pencil (even better if it’s blue) and take a careful look for mistakes. Despite our thorough proofreading process, which involves six sets of eyes, we’re not perfect. If you can prove that by finding one legitimate typo or mistake in Issue 9.2, we’ll post the results on our blog—and you’ll win a prize!
Leave your comments by clicking the post title above (unless you can already see the comments section). The first five to respond get their choice of a free issue, thermos, or slingpack, along with a blue Col-Erase pencil, the old-timey editor’s tool of choice. Yes, we’re old school, and we like it that way.
In the contributor note for Jehanne Dubrow: “including most recently Stateside and Red Army Red” (all in italics)
The “and” should not be in italics.
Thanks for another issue packed with great writing!
Awesome, Laura. Always a pleasure. Your blue pencil will go out in tomorrow’s mail. Want another slingpack or thermos?
No, thanks, just the blue pencil will be great. (Although I must say the thermos has certainly come in handy.)
