I’m on a couple of “best-selling author” mailing lists, and, I’m telling you what…they send me incorrect copy at their peril. I especially don’t like an “international best-selling author” who sends me copy that’s TIME-SENSITIVE with a nasty typo, like this one:

Liz Coursen,
If you’ve got a big book idea that won’t leave you alone, listen up…
For 3 DAYS ONLY, I’m opening up private registration to Get Published, my digital course that will help you successfully write, publish, and launch a book.
Registration for this course is actually closed to the public. And I’m planning to keep it closed until some time in 2018.
But every once in awhile, I offer private enrollment to a small, select group of my tribe because I don’t want people who REALLY need this information to have to delay their publishing dreams on account of my schedule.
And based on what you’ve told me you’re interested in, I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this for two reasons:
1. Registration is only open for a short time — now through Thursday, April 13th
2. I’m ALSO taking $50 off the price — so you can have 24/7, lifetime access to Get Published for $297 instead of $347.

The subject line read: calling all aspiring authors [time sensitive]
Find the misspelled word! I’m not talking about the double hyphen in the #1 thing, though that is a thing (which you can’t see because WordPress auto-corrects it); nope, I’m talking about an adverb that should be a noun.
Blaa, blaa, blaa…don’t send me stuff about how great a writer you are and tell me to “listen up” and then have a misspelled word in your come-on. I find it, well, irksome.
