9 I'm currently reading a sci-fi book that has over a dozen characters. The author had written dialog for two different characters using the same odd idiom in two separate chapters so far. I cannot see this being intentional, and to me, it is visible and easily detectable by writing software like Scrivener. I've noticed this sort of thing in multiple novels. So, why do novels end up with such mistakes ? Aren't there proofreaders, editors, publishers, etc. who review the work before publishing? What precautions should writers take, not to fall in such mistakes? technique dialogue editing process share | improve this question edited 10 hours ago
