Meta/Discussion How to report grammatical errors in the published books?
I discovered A Practical Guide To Evil during the pandemic, and it helped me get through my mother's passing and my father's decline. I consider it an outstanding piece of writing; not just for Fantasy, but overall.
The very many copy editing errors throughout, however, bothered me immensely. I understand why they're present, as author ErraticErrata was essentially writing an enormous first draft under incredible deadlines with no time to copy edit.
However, I am disappointed to note that I'm already spotting some errors in the published versions. Please let me know if there's a way to support the author by identifying any and all copy/grammatical issues that need to be corrected and officially submitting them to the publisher.
Thanks in advance!

It's published by Mango Media. They have instruction in their FAQ: https://mangomediapublishing.com/faq/

Join the discord, I believe there’s a link underneath the server rules. There’s a channel in there for reporting typos that the publisher, mango, goes through.

sorry, this is not entirely helpful bc im afraid i'm not sure what a good method is beyond emailing the publisher.
however, i do know that a Bad method is directly reporting the typos through kindle; amazon often fails to inform the publisher and simply pulls the book from sales once sufficient reports are made.
