Readers may forgive an honest mistake. They are far less likely to forgive silence. Clear correction policies are one of the simplest ways publishers can reinforce trust when something goes wrong. More on transparency as a growth strategy: writestats.com/transparency-…

Read only dialogue aloud to spot awkward phrases. If it sounds stiff, your readers will notice too.
