Hi 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 <mailto: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.
"I don't 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.
I have one erotica book, one romance/fiction, one fiction, and one
teen fiction book that will need a bit more care taken with it.
Are you interested in any of these? I can give titles and authors if
you prefer later.
Sorry for the ramble!
Mayrie
All heading navigation and font stuff is done.

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!
Reggie
Thanks for any help anyone can give me on any of these problems.
