And you're one of the most helpful and terrific. Here it seems appropriate for
me to quote the phrase "It takes one to know one." smile

and Reggie,

>I'm
replying to both of your requests for more info about the books for which I'd
like proofreaders here. I hope that's all right.

>The
first book that I have available is Ten Beach Road by Wendy Wax. Here is
the text from the back cover:

>[From
The Back Cover]
>Onthe brink of ruin, three very different women discover themselves where they
least expect ... at Ten Beach Road.
>Madeline,
Avery, and Nikki are strangers to one another, but they have one thing in
common. They each wake up one morning to discover that their life savings have
vanished, along with their trusted financial manager ... leaving them with
nothing but co-ownership of a ramshackle beachfront house.
>Madeline
Singer is a homemaker coping with empty-nest syndrome and an unemployed
husband.
Avery Lawford is an architect--or was, until she somehow became the sidekick on
her ex-husband's TV show. And professional matchmaker Nikki Grant is trying to
recover from her biggest mistake ...
>No
one is going to save them but themselves. Determined to fight back, they throw
their lots in together and take on the challenge of restoring the historic
beach
house to its former glory. But just as they begin to reinvent themselves and
discover the power of friendship, their secrets threaten to tear down their
trust, and destroy their lives a second time ...
>Praise
for the novels of Wendy Wax
>"A
definite 'must' for any beach bag this summer."
>--Sacramento
Book Review
>"A
beautiful book about loyalty, courage, and pursuing your dreams with a little
help from your friends."
>--Karen

>----
>The second
book is A Girl's Guide to Witchcraft by Mindy Klasky, and here is the text
from its back cover:
>Which is
more unlikely? Meeting a single, straight, reasonably attractive,
willing-to-commit man? Or Discovering a secret cache of magic books? For good
girl Jane Madison, neither has a shot in hell of coming true--until the day she
finds a hidden room... Now she's done a bit of experimenting and found a spell
that makes her irresistible to men-... more »even those who have
previously ignored her. And another that turns a cat into her witch's familiar
(a snarky, critical, self-absorbed man--pretty much a typical male). Though her
impulsive acts of magic have brought a warder (sexy, grouchy, elusive and
determined to stop her from using magic) down on her, Jane's not willing to let
go of this fantastic new life. Though she wonders about having things that
aren't "real," she's having too much fun to stop. After all, no one ever said
being a witch was easy...
>---
>If
either of you is interested in proofreading either of these books, I'll happily
put a hold on the book you'd like to proofread for you when I submit the book,
which will be almost as soon as you say you're interested in proofreading
it.
>
>I hope
each of you will find a book that is to your liking!

>Thanks
in any case for the offers to proofread the books!

Reggie,

>Any book
labeled PRIORITY is on the check out page by mistake. If you encounter any
book with that designation, please don't download it, and notify Carrie at
ckarnos@xxxxxxxxx and let her know that the
book is on the check out page by mistake. Those books labeled PRIORITY are
books that have already been proofread by outsourcers and which have mistakenly
ended up on the check out page, rather than in the approval
queue.

>And,
Reggie, I will have a few books available for proofreading very soon. All
formatting has been done. What remains needing to be done is to read the
books through, and to make sure that paragraph marks between dialogue are where
they should be. This is what I mean.

want to go to Grandma's house," Max whined. "Why?" his mother
asked.

>As I
have written the above, there are two lines of dialogue which have been put
together as one. What needs to happen here is for a paragraph mark,
(carriage return) to be inserted before the word "Why?" In the books I'd like
proofreaders for, the final thing needed will be a final spell check after
reading the books.

one erotica book, one romance/fiction, one fiction, and one teen fiction book

>Hello
all:
>Is there
anyone who has finished scanning a book who needs a proofer? I would like
anything on animals, history, fiction, romance, mystery and thrillers,
nonfiction biography or events. All that is on without a hold is religion.
Alternatively, is there anyone who would let me have one of their
holds?

>Another
problem. I downloaded what I think is a textbook Priority TX Health and
Wellness. I tried to make it into a .doc file, which I normally do as I
have Word 2003 and it will not open in my BN. When I opened it on the BN
it gave me a message stating “Ipad converter does not recognize this as a word
2007.” I think it was scanned on a later Word. Can someone pick it
up and proof? It looks like it was priority. I intended to spend tonight
and tomorrow proofing. Instead I had to download something about shells
Shelley scanned. Hoping it has pic descriptions as I wonder if it is one
of the books that people are working on for descriptions. I cannot help
with this. If it is not described and was only let go back to
download because of this, can someone let me know, please before I get too far.
Appreciate much!
