Hi, Denise. Welcome. I've been a volunteer since November of 2003, and I'm still learning and still asking. It sounds as though you, like I, see and want to fix errors in the written word. My only counsel would be that we can't do that. If it's in print, we have to leave it, galling as that is. Very obvious spelling mistakes we might get away with, although it's better not to. Our group is about getting work done, and having fun while we do it. Again, welcome.

I downloaded my first book to proofread yesterday and I am very, very excited about it! I joined Bookshare because 1). I love, love books; 2). I am always correcting the written word in everything I read; 3). I love to help others. Did I mention I love books? And, an added bonus is that my niece is print-disabled and I recall my sister-in-law once commenting that she uses a site such as this one (I'm not sure if it is this one). So, I am elated to be able to give back! In any case, I just want to introduce myself and prepare you to be inundated with newbie questions:-). Is there an actual forum or listserv that I could go to to read past postings to this list? Are there any suggestions that the seasoned volunteers out there have for a newbie like myself? I would hate to ask questions that you have all heard, and answered, a million times. Thanks! Denise
