Hi Janie,
Congratulations on that first book! It sounds like you have covered
everything, especially since you read the book. You were smart to start
with an easy one.
Good luck uploading it.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] validating my first book
Hi, all, I found an easy first book to validate, one I've read twice in
childhood. I've been through and cleaned up the elipses, fixed a few
spelling errors--the quality was excellent and there weren't many, and made
sure the file was saved once again as a .rtf file. It was originally an RTF
file before I made the changes and I made sure there was one again. There
are no unnecessary or garbage characters. A short and long synopsis was
already included by a previous editor and/or submitter. Categories have
already been filled in. Aside from copyright info and ISBN numbering, what
else is left for me to do before uploading in a nutshell? Have I left
anything out? I've read over the validation instructions, but they may have
me down with a different name as I'm not the only Jamie on bookshare. Is it
okay that there seem to be two sets of page numbers? There seem to be a few
blank pages in the front material but none in the core content in the book
and no table of contents to worry with. Let me know if anybody has anymore
suggestions for this book, please? It's a brother for the orphelines by
Natalie Savage Carlson, and there are several more by her I'd love to see
available. She is a great children's writer, and I hope and pray that many
people will benefit from having access to this book. It was a great
pleasure to read it again. I know I can't read straight through every
validation, but this was quite fun. Have a blessed day. Thanks for all the
help and suggestions so far.
