Hello all,
I have been on and off this list for years ever since I interviewed Alison
Lingame about Bookshare for eSight Careers Network. This time around I am
serious! ;)
I am going to be a validator. I read the volunteer manual but wonder if
there is some other document that is more detailed about the duties and task
of validating? I see in the manual how to choose, downloaad and upload
bookds but not what one is looking for or any other details. If I am
missing something obvious, I apologize.
Is there a procedure for announcing one is taking on the validation of a
particular book? I know I should know this or was told this, but just
indulge me and remind me.
I am going to be most inclined to validate history and historical fiction as
it is the area I am most interested in and my own area as a novelist. Since
my next effort is a series of mystery novels set in 10th century Saxon
Winchester I am taking a mystery writing class through Cascadia College so I
will probably validate mysteries too. Also ghost stories.
I do a blog that is historical fiction as well as a wiki about novels set in
the dark and middle ages in England. I run a group called Ghostletters
where members write as fictional or historical characters.
After I left eSight I wrote for a publication called Volunteer management
Review, but now I am writing nothing but fiction. You can see more about my
writing at www.nanhawthorne.com if you are interested.
Looking forward to being active.
