I admit to the advantage of having multiple co-authors, and between the three of us we do catch a lot in proofreading pass. We'd hire a proofreader otherwise though.
I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production.
If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

My 94 yo mother is still the best proofreader I’ve ever worked with. (She worked as a professional proofreader for Playbill back in the 1970s!)

Considering the blurb has used "he's" twice instead of "his", suggests no proofreader at all.

I do some graphic design work but I'm the worst proofreader. It took me 5 times to see any difference. #deeper80s

Adding Variety to the list of publications that should hire me as a proofreader.

A lot of fanfic writers (especially younger ones) use Grammerly in lieu of a human proofreader/"beta reader". As more and more AI fic gets shoveled onto AO3 to artificially inflate ship fic numbers and "win", I beg y'all to knock it off and also stop relying on Grammerly
Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.
HEAD'S UP FELLOW #CREATIVES!
If you haven't heard, #Grammarly is changing...and one change that doesn't pass the smell test is the incorporation of the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine that is #AI. 😒
I'm ditching Grammarly TONIGHT. #Writing #Writers #NoAI

Well the first version of RandomTheBook.com is now with our proofreader...
Given our deadline is still 3 weeks away, I think this amounts to "ahead of schedule". Well done to @sonofsuntzu.bsky.social and me!

All sarcasm aside, learning the rules of writing, getting an editor, and a proofreader or three will be better in the long run if you don't want to use AI.

I had the pleasure of reading this before the public release as a proofreader, and I think Sascha's cooking here! Be mindful of the tags, and come watch two horrible women try to have a good time on holiday without their trauma ruining everything
Presenting NOBODY HURTS ME BETTER
A toxic yuri/dramedy AU of the TooMuchSascha storyline.
Director Muller takes a 2 week vacation & chooses to spend it with Sascha in New York City, but their holiday proves more turbulent than expected.
Chapter 1 now up on AO3:

I want to hire a proofreader before Volume I goes to print so badly and I'm so much closer to being able to than I thought. Issuing corrections for digital editions is one thing but a print error would make me PERISH

Does the NY Post even have a proofreader? Maybe no English majors, who have actually read things and know how to think, will work for such a rag.
