You would be right.
That would make or break a book to capture interest.

Hi, Gwen!
There are so many ways to help and all are appreciated and help Bookshare
improve. Without good synopses, many people will pass over potentially very
good reads!

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!

I know it won't be me because it's tougher for totally blind people to
do things like this.
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?
