I once abridged for audio one of Sidney Sheldon's last novels. There were any number of timeline errors. The copyeditor pointed them out, but there were slashes through all of them, and a note:"STET! SHELDON"
Oh my ! I am definitely looking forward to her feedback and corrections. It's an incredibly complex book believe it or not. Chapters, mini chapters guides and all sorts of stuff. So I'm sure I've got plenty of errors--and plenty of verbosity in there--which a good copyeditor will fix and make beautiful. I'd be afraid if the publisher said "good to go" at this point. Publisher loves the book (as did the content editor). very, very few changes.

So be not afraid of the copyeditor!
