Hi Kristin! Do you know that you can renew your checked out books if you need more than a week to finish them up? This might help you, if you're concerned about time constraints. As Shane said, "hold for" is designated by the submitter of a book. Submitters and proofreaders agree in advance that a particular proofreader will work on a particular book. Once you build up a relationship with some submitters and they know your tastes, and are happy with your work, you can work together on books. You can ask to proofread a particular book, if someone announces on this list that they will be submitting something that interests you. It is possible for anyone to remove duplicate submissions from the list of books to be checked out. It can be long and involved, kind of. What needs to happen is that someone needs to check out both copies of the book and see which is the cleaner scan, if one is, then reject the poorer scan, stating in the comments section of the rejection form that the book was a duplicate and that you have kept the cleanest copy. I hope that all helps clarify things for you, and that you are having a good day too.

Hey everyone! I have two questions for everyone and if you have all ready seen one of them then please forgive me. I've noticed that some of the books on the proof reading list have the word (hold) next to them. How do you get a book held for you? I'm all most finished with my current book and I'd like to add something new to my checked out list. Realizing we only have a week to proof read, I was wondering if it would be better to get a book held instead of renewing it. Also I saw a duplicate novel on the book list and I was wondering if anyone had figured out how to remove it from the list? If we've all ready discussed this topic then please forgive me for bringing it up again. Thanks for everyone's help and I hope you all are having a spectacular day!
