Judy;
I appreciate the quick reply! I am part of a launch team for the book,
"Katharina and Martin Luther: The Radical Marriage of a Runaway Nun and a
Renegade Monk” By Michelle DeRusha, to be released on January 31 and someone
has offered to buy us a copy, so I need to be sure to handle them correctly.
The book is wonderfully written and I am hopeful Sandi Ryan and I can add it to
the collection.
Thanks again for the quick confirmation!
Valerie

Hi Valerie,
Those are the standards I've been using myself in books I've worked on
recently, so until or unless we're told of a change I'd go with those.
You're correct in leaving the pages and pages of footnotes at the end of the
book where they are at the end. Don't move them to the pages where the
footnote numbers appear.
Happy Monday!

Okay, I will be doing my first book in recent history with many footnotes.
Hoping Judy or someone else can help clarify some things. From the
Volunteer section on the website
(https://www.bookshare.org/cms/help-center/how-format-footnotes-and-endnotes)
"IN THE TEXT
• Make sure there is a space before and after the number or asterisk in the
text
• Do not add in an asterisk if there is a number
• Numbers may be super or subscripted; whichever is in the original text
• If there is a dagger (†), replace it with an asterisk (or if there are
two, with two asterisks)
FOOTNOTES
• Place the footnote information at the bottom of the page in square
brackets
• Both the information and the corresponding number or asterisk should be
inside the brackets
• Example: [1. Library of Congress]”
First, is this indeed the current standard for footnotes?
Second, If my footnotes are all death with in pages and pages and pages at
the end of the book, am I correct in assuming we are not to alter the text
by inserting them at the bottom of the pages?
Thanks!
Valerie
