In the easy world of self-publishing (anyone can get a Kindle ebook published in a matter of hours), it is also easy to let things like spelling and grammar slip. Poorly edited books are flooding mobile readers and even coming out in print copies. Contrary to most hopes, your word processor will not catch all typos ("he one the right won" or "he won the right one?").

I know you love your work and want to give it the best face you can. Though I am not a professional editor, I do have an eye for typos and a fairly good grasp on grammar (plus the practice of editing my own work).
