Whoa! Aprilgem..your publication is a gem on it's own if they allowed writer's to see galley proofs. It's so not done. We were even warned about that in Journalism school. followed it to a T in real life..(worked with 4 papers and 2 mags) Reason? Writers will always dispute what editors have done to the story. reason? It's their work..no one likes it butchered.
