 Hey Valerie,
That is a wonderful idea.
I believe I probably will do that thanks a million.

  Morning, Gwen!


  Maybe you could refocus for a while, Gwen, and read some books and see if the 
synopses fit them.  I know there are many books needing better synopses and not 
many people have the patience to take the time to see if they can be improved.  
You could read books that interest you and if you think you can improve the 
long synopsis in particular, sent the title, author and suggestion on synopsis 
to Carrie.  You would be reading books you enjoy, reviewing ways to make them 
more interesting to prospective readers and doing a service all at the same 
time.


  Just a thought on another way to help Bookshare!


  Valerie

    I'm finding it hard to find anything to proofread partly because I'm so 
picky *smile*
    that is why  I did some children's books because I love them, but I knew 
there  would be no surprises such as strong language violence and explicit 
discriptions  a person like me may have to give it up because I'll have nothing 
to do and just go back to reading.
    yeah there are numbers of books up there but if you don't know what doesn't 
have these things or ones that have quirks that sighted people need to do 
nothing against that,
    but for me being totally blind, I'm just finding it more frustrating to 
even find a book and yes I know that is just me so  disregard this whiner you'd 
call it.
    If I'm not going to be interested in a book or have the fear of what I'll 
run into in the book, well it just seems more and more the choices for me are 
gone I have nothing to choose from,
    cause there is something I can't do in it, it needs to be worked on by 
someone smarter better than me or it's old and you can't and the list goes on
    some days I just get hit with the give ups!

      Hi, if the outsourcers are no longer going to do cookbooks, who will?
