I have a girl who reads all my work. Gives me insightful and amazing feedback on everything I write. While she points out grammatical and punctuation errors, she does her bulk work helping me with the developmental part. She is outstanding. I have another girl that does my editing proofreading and line editing for me as well.
I couldn't do it without them. But even then, things slip through. I get snow blind staring at my work.
I have been lucky enough to find a few reliable beta-readers/proofreaders over the years, and they have helped me immeasurably in the quality control department. For this book, I just wanted to step up my game by hiring a dispassionate (yet enthusiastic and qualified) third party to give me a fresh perspective. Just like you, I get snow blind staring at my own work (an expression I find especially amusing since you come from Hawaii haha!).
