Hi Reggie,
Any book labeled PRIORITY is on the check out page by mistake. If you
encounter any book with that designation, please don't download it, and
notify Carrie at ckarnos@xxxxxxxxx and let her know that the book is on the
check out page by mistake. Those books labeled PRIORITY are books that have
already been proofread by outsourcers and which have mistakenly ended up on
the check out page, rather than in the approval queue.
And, Reggie, I will have a few books available for proofreading very soon.
All formatting has been done. What remains needing to be done is to read
the books through, and to make sure that paragraph marks between dialogue
are where they should be. This is what I mean.
"I don't want to go to Grandma's house," Max whined. "Why?" his mother
asked.
As I have written the above, there are two lines of dialogue which have been
put together as one. What needs to happen here is for a paragraph mark,
(carriage return) to be inserted before the word "Why?" In the books I'd
like proofreaders for, the final thing needed will be a final spell check
after reading the books.
I have one erotica book, one romance/fiction, one fiction, and one teen
fiction book that will need a bit more care taken with it.
Are you interested in any of these? I can give titles and authors if you
prefer later.
Sorry for the ramble!
Mayrie
All heading navigation and font stuff is done.

Hello all:
Is there anyone who has finished scanning a book who needs a proofer? I
would like anything on animals, history, fiction, romance, mystery and
thrillers, nonfiction biography or events. All that is on without a hold is
religion. Alternatively, is there anyone who would let me have one of their
holds?
Another problem. I downloaded what I think is a textbook Priority TX Health
and Wellness. I tried to make it into a .doc file, which I normally do as I
have Word 2003 and it will not open in my BN. When I opened it on the BN it
gave me a message stating "Ipad converter does not recognize this as a word
2007." I think it was scanned on a later Word. Can someone pick it up and
proof? It looks like it was priority. I intended to spend tonight and
tomorrow proofing. Instead I had to download something about shells Shelley
scanned. Hoping it has pic descriptions as I wonder if it is one of the
books that people are working on for descriptions. I cannot help with this.
If it is not described and was only let go back to download because of this,
can someone let me know, please before I get too far. Appreciate much!
Reggie
Thanks for any help anyone can give me on any of these problems.
