You're automatically returned there Cindy! A nice feature would be for
proofreaders to hear the same "Thank You For
Submitting Your Book" message which scanners receive.

Were you guys automatically returned to your checked-out book page or did

Well, it's great that someone who is successful at sending a book to
the Admin Queue will know that they were successful if they get
returned to the "my checked out books" page. But if I were running an
organization whose existence and growth depended in large measure on
volunteers, I'd make sure that they knew I appreciated their time and
energy.
But then, I'm another nobody.
