Hi Lyn,
Mark it as BSO before the title when you submit it.

Reading a book is like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel,
anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and
you read it in your own terms. -Angela Carter, novelist and journalist
(1940-1992)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question about improving the edit
Well, I was avoiding joining this list because I'm on too many already. But
since I'm here, I have a question. I am not great as a proofreader as I tend
to get too caught up with making improvements that I never finish. I tried
some years ago and barely finished anything. But I'm desperate because I can't
afford to renew my own bookshare subscription and there are books I need to
read. So, in my rush to just do the work without going back and re-reading
the manual, I hadn't realized that it was even OK to do things like remove line
breaks within paragraphs or add missing page numbers and I checked in my first
book and then found out there was more I could do and went back and made the
improvements.
I'm not sure it is even possible to re-submit it but I did want to do the
best job possible and hadn't heard back from the volunteer coordinator who I'm
sure is way too busy, so I just went ahead. It isn't a re-scan, but in putting
in the extra work I also fixed more obvious scanning errors and I think it's a
much improved copy. Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do with it?
Thanks,
Lynn
