Proofreading v spellcheck

It was late at night, and I was reading an early draft of The Publisher…

As I read the section where Eleanor had arrived at Alexandra's flat in London. I was describing the flat and setting the scene of an opulent north London apartment when I spotted that there was a ‘n’ missing that changed the whole meaning.

The sentence was:

“Three huge widows looked out over the city of London.”

This one missing ‘n’ could have taken the story in a completely different direction!

Beware spellcheck.
