Is it too much to ask for an editor?

[delphia2ohohoh]

Apparently in their quest to make more profit, publishers are no longer employing editors. Or they are, but they've hired cheap interns to do the editing. This is the second book that I've bought from Barnes & Noble that I got to the end and said WTF kind of ending is this? The previous book I suspected was self-published and it was by someone who I know for sure is a fanfic writer. But this most recent one has the HarperCollins imprint. There's no excuse for this kind of crap. If I didn't have to rush off to work this morning, I'd be writing a really long letter to the publisher. I may do it yet.

This is all Twilight's fault.
